Grote Markt, Medieval market square in Lier, Belgium.
The triangular Grand Place features a slender belfry next to the town hall and contains buildings representing various architectural periods spanning several centuries.
During World War I in 1914, German bombardments destroyed most buildings on the Grand Place, except for the belfry and town hall which remained intact.
A brass meridian line placed near the belfry marks the work of Adolphe Quetelet, who used the town hall corner as a sundial in the 19th century.
The town hall on Grand Place contains a tourist office providing information about activities and attractions throughout the city of Lier.
Between the cobblestones lies a memorial stone commemorating Cathelyne Van den Bulcke, who was executed as a witch on this square in 1590.
