Mons is called mountains in Dutch. Like many cities with a Flemish-influenced history, there is a Grote Markt or Grand-Place with an impressive bell tower in the city center. The Belfry of Mons was built in the 17th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another eye-catcher in the historic center is the late Gothic town hall from the 15th century.

The irregularly shaped Grote Markt offers very diverse views. the attention is naturally drawn to the town hall and the belfry, which are located at the very top of the inclined plane, which emphasizes their grandeur.
