For centuries, the Grote Markt (Grand Place) in Tournai, formed in a sort of triangle, has always been the place to be.
In the past, people were executed here, trade was conducted or important announcements were made.
Nowadays it is mainly a gathering place for all kinds of fun and a piece of culture. Historic buildings are located on and around the Grote Markt that have had a major influence on the history of the city.
Here you will find the Cloth Hall, the Belfry, the Grange Tithes of St. Martin and the beautiful bronze statue of Marie-Christine de Lalaing, daughter of Count Charles II and wife of Pierre de Melun, governor of Tournai.

Take your time to admire everything that unfolds in front of you on the triangular Grote Markt. right in front of you the Cloth Hall, on the left the belfry and in the center of the market square a statue. on the right you see the church of St Quentin. All architectural styles together on one square: Gothic, Renaissance, Romanesque.
Colorful banners hang on the facades, normally 36 pieces. they refer to the guilds.
