Place Nationale, Historic square in Montauban, France
The National Square features double-row covered arcades on all sides, with pink brick buildings rising three stories above the ground level.
Founded in 1144, the square underwent major reconstruction in the 17th century after two fires destroyed substantial portions in 1614 and 1649.
The square's covered areas were traditionally divided by trade, with specific sections designated for wheat merchants, drapers, fruit vendors, and sabot manufacturers.
The recently renovated square includes new tiles, seating arrangements, and a water mirror that operates from 9 AM to 11 PM daily.
Hidden within the arcade pillars, visitors can find an ancient standard measure and a wooden cross marking the former location of the judicial pillory.
