The Beestenmarkt is a 60 by 50 meter square in the city of Delft, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The square was created by the demolition of the Minderbroederklooster. From 1595 to 1972, the square was the site for the Delft cattle markets, where farmers from the Westland showed their cattle. After that, the square was used as a parking space for 21 years, until the parking spaces disappeared in the 1990s and a new entertainment center was created.

Nice modern cow art and great place to have a drink and a bite to eat. The choice on this square is huge.
