Grote Markt, Central square in Groningen, Netherlands
The Grote Markt forms a rectangular plaza at the heart of Groningen, bordered by the Martinitoren church and neoclassical town hall building.
Originally named Breede Merckt until 1822, this marketplace underwent significant reconstruction after sustaining damage during the Liberation of Groningen in 1945.
The square maintains its traditional market function with vendors setting up stalls every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, continuing centuries of commercial activity.
Visitors can find numerous dining establishments around the square, including Hotel De Doelen, which operates as the oldest restaurant in Groningen.
The Drie Gezusters establishment on Grote Markt accommodates 3,700 people within its premises, making it one of the largest pubs in Europe.
