Grand Place, Brussels
La Grand Place, also known as Grote Markt, is basically just the town center square of Brussels. However, it features numerous buildings worth seeing and must be on your list of places to visit. Many of the buildings date back to the late 17th century. It provides an eclectic blending of architectural and artistic styles that really demonstrates the culture and society of Brussels.
The buildings in the Grande Place were built for both public and private use. The significance of this area can be traced back to a reference in 1174, when it was known as Nedermarckt, or Lower Market. Seven streets run into this area, creating a market place that was once surrounded by stalls and houses but now has beautiful buildings. It remained an important marketplace until 1959. The entire square was actually destroyed in 1695 by a bombardment by the French army.
