The Grote Markt in Aarschot combines contemporary liveliness with historical values. The market square probably dates from the fourteenth century. In the past, around 1200, the weekly market started here in the shadow of the main buildings. In the middle of the market square is a pump from 1710. The monument was protected in 1959. A fountain was built around the pump in 2001.
