Grote Markt, Central marketplace in Nijmegen, Netherlands
Grote Markt is the central square of Nijmegen, surrounded by historic buildings on all sides. Cafes and shops line the paved area, creating an active public gathering space.
The square began as a marketplace in medieval times and kept this role through the centuries. It survived destruction during World War II and was rebuilt afterward.
A statue of Mariken van Nieumeghen stands in the center, showing a medieval figure from Dutch folklore. It connects the square to old stories that locals still remember.
The square can be visited any day, with markets being especially lively on Mondays and Saturdays. The surrounding area is easy to walk through and the central location is fully accessible.
A blue stone in the pavement marks where public executions once took place. This quiet reminder sits at the intersection of several streets in the heart of the square.
