Grote Markt, Medieval market square in Haarlem, Netherlands
The Grote Markt features the Sint-Bavokerk cathedral with its 78-meter tower, the City Hall, and the Vleeshal building, forming a central gathering space.
The square originated in the 8th century and includes the town hall, which was constructed as a palace for Holland counts in the 12th century.
The square displays a statue of Laurens Janszoon Coster and houses two museums within the Vleeshal: the Archaeological Museum and Museum De Hallen.
Visitors can explore local produce markets on Mondays and Saturdays, while numerous cafes and restaurants line the perimeter of the square.
The Sint-Bavokerk cathedral contains wooden vaulted ceilings and an organ that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played during his visits to Haarlem.
