Grote Markt, Central marketplace in Nijmegen, Netherlands
The Grote Markt features historic structures surrounding an expansive paved square where cafes and shops create a central gathering space in Nijmegen.
The square remains one of the few sections of Nijmegen's old town that endured through World War II, maintaining its position as a commercial center.
A statue of Mariken van Nieumeghen stands in the center, representing a medieval Dutch literary character who made a pact with the devil.
Markets fill the square every Monday and Saturday, while three electrical connections and multiple water points support various public events throughout the year.
A blue stone embedded in the pavement at the intersection of Burchtstraat, Broerstraat, and Grotestraat marks the location of former public executions.
