Grote Markt, Medieval central square in Ypres, Belgium.
The rectangular Grote Markt extends over 12,500 square meters, making it the second largest central square in Flanders after Saint Nicholas City.
During World War I, the square and its surrounding buildings experienced severe damage, leading to an extensive reconstruction program that restored its medieval character.
The square maintains its commercial heritage through a weekly Saturday market where local residents and visitors gather to purchase regional products.
Multiple cafes and restaurants line the perimeter of the square, offering traditional Belgian dishes and local beers with views of the Gothic architecture.
The Cloth Hall bordering the square features a UNESCO World Heritage belfry that stands as a symbol of medieval commercial prosperity.
