Market Square or Grote Markt (the Dutch version of the name of the square) appeared in the 10th century. From that moment to this day, covered markets operate on it, which, in fact, gave the name to the place. The absolute dominant of the square is the Belfort tower, 83 meters high. The tower has 50 bells that play their own unique melody every hour. It is also worth paying attention to the rows of neat houses with a stepped gable. Basically, these are the houses of the guild of fish merchants and masons.
