Heroes Square, Historic square in Arras, France

Place des Héros stands as a rectangular space measuring 123 meters in length and 61 meters in width, surrounded by traditional Flemish-style buildings.

The square received its name in 1945 to honor local resistance members who lost their lives during the Second World War.

Twice weekly markets continue a medieval tradition, with over 200 vendors selling regional products every Wednesday and Saturday morning.

The square connects directly to rue de la Taillerie and provides access to the town hall, which contains administrative services for residents.

Fifty-two building facades around the square received historical monument status between 1919 and 1921, forming a protected architectural ensemble.
