The statue here is of Saint Cupid, commemorating the Saint Cupid Chapel that stood here in the 17th century but was demolished in 1653. Cozy cafes invite you to linger and watch the hustle and bustle of Maastricht.

The history of Maastricht's Market Square dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was a small square near the first city walls, known for the cloth trade in the nearby Cloth Hall. After the old wall, the Cloth Hall, and the Prisoners' Gate were demolished, the square took on its current form in the 17th century with the construction of the Town Hall. This transformed it into the economic and social heart of the city, surrounded by stately buildings and restaurants, and where weekly markets are held to this day. The Market Square was originally smaller and nestled against the first medieval city walls, now remembered by the Grote Gracht (Great Canal) and Kleine Gracht (Little Canal). Around the 13th century, a Cloth Hall was built to accommodate the flourishing cloth trade, which dominated the city's economy. After 1659, the old wall, Cloth Hall, and Prisoners' Gate were demolished to make way for the current Town Hall, completed in 1664. The Town Hall, centrally located, commands the attention, along with the stately buildings surrounding the Market Square, several of which are protected. Also worth seeing: the statue of Maastricht native Jan Pieter Minckeleers, who invented coal gas, the water pump, and the statue of the Mooswief, which can be found as a separate highlight at https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/5839923

The red tower of St. John's Church and the Basilica of St. Servatius mark the historical significance and uniqueness of the square.

It's lovely to cycle here on the dike. There's always something to see on either side, and the people you meet are very friendly and seem happy. It must be the beautiful surroundings.

The market square with the town hall is beautiful in itself, especially the surrounding shops and restaurants. But there's also a fantastic market here on Wednesdays and Fridays. There's plenty to discover at the stalls, from fabrics and clothing to food and delicious snacks. A visit is especially worthwhile on these two days. A carillon chimes from the tower every half hour.

A beautiful early Baroque church from the 17th century, a Dutch national monument. Unfortunately, like many other churches in the country, it no longer serves its religious purpose. In recent years, the former Augustinian church and monastery building housed a food market, selling mainly fruit and vegetables. Currently closed, the market is likely awaiting a new tenant...

Maastricht's Gothic St. Matthew's Church (Sint-Matthiaskerk) is located on Boschstraat. Construction of this church began around 1350, but it is believed that a church already stood on this site before then. The St. Matthew's Church is definitely worth a look.
