Review & FAQ:

Markt , also known as the Grand Place and Market Square, is a roughly 2.5-acre square situated in the heart of downtown Bruges. It’s a prominent fixture in the city and home to the most famous monument in Bruges, the 12th century Belfry Tower. This massive and equally impressive wooden tower was built in 1240 and rests on a brick building, making it a unique piece of architecture. The Belfry was previously the home of city officials who were in charge of the city’s important financial dealings. Today, visitors can still see the tower’s 47 bells designed by George Dumery in 1741. The square also features several additional architecturally significant buildings that are worth a visit.
