HEROES' SQUARE
A place of impressive architecture, with remarkable Flemish Baroque facades and a huge market in Arras.
In the Middle Ages, the square was known as the Petit Marché, with its corporate halls, where the trouvères gave their theatrical performances. Today, it's a group of 155 Flemish Baroque facades with a similar look. The 75-meter-high belfry, topped by a golden lion, located at the far end of the square, symbolizes the heroism of its inhabitants. In 1945, the square was renamed Place des Héros, in tribute to the members of the Arrage resistance who were shot during the Second World War. The square was rebuilt after the war.
