The Groenplaats is located in the historical centre of Antwerp and is one of the most famous squares in Antwerp. Tourists who visit Antwerp to shop almost automatically end up on this rectangular square. The Groenplaats is an important link on the route between the Grote Markt, the Handschoenmarkt and the Suikerrui. Some visitors sit down on one of the benches on the square, sit around the statue of Peter Paul Rubens or take a seat on one of the terraces that can be found around the Groenplaats.
The Groenplaats was a cemetery that belonged to the Cathedral of Our Lady since the Middle Ages. It was not until the end of the eighteenth century that this cemetery was transformed into a square. This happened after Emperor Joseph II forbade the use of cemeteries within the city walls.

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of traffic, a quick photo of the cathedral.

The Groenplaats with the statue of Rubens was the central cemetery of Antwerp until the 18th century. During the Austrian occupation it was transformed into a square and has since been a meeting place for Antwerp residents. The Groenplaats is very popular with day tourists. There is a flower market here regularly. With the first rays of sunshine, all terraces are always full. From the square you have a beautiful view of the Cathedral of Our Lady.

A part of the center of Antwerp - you have a view of the statue of Petro Paulo Rubens and the Cathedral of Our Lady (if you look at the statue's face). Around the square where the statue is located there are also lots of places to stop for a bite to eat with a view of the square and usually also of the cathedral and statue.
Very beautiful in any case - but of course also well attended ;-)
