MAIN SQUARE (MARKT)
Markten or Grand-Place, one of the most beautiful vestiges of European Renaissance civilization, located in Bruges.
The Markten or Grand-Places are the heart of the northern cities, one of the most beautiful vestiges of the European Renaissance civilization. The picturesque Flemish houses date back to the 15th century. Every Saturday a fabulous market is held, instituted in the year 958! In the center, the monument dedicated to Jan Breydel and Pieter De Coninck recalls the uprising of the trades against the French domination in 1302. At the end, the neo-classical provincial palace and the Post Office are worth a look. Along the Markt, canals used to run which are now underground.
