Markt, Rosmalen

Markt is the name of a Square in Rosmalen, North Brabant, Netherlands. It used to be the garden of a rectory until 1911.

The name is given to the square, because the Street market was held on this square. Until 1981 there were two graves of Canadian soldiers who rode their motorcycle over a mine near Sprokkelbosch during World War II. Because people didn't know for sure if they are Catholic or not, they are buried outside the church's graveyard

The Saint Lambertchurch is located next to the square.

Markt (Bruges)

The Markt ("Market Square") of Bruges is located in the heart of the city and covers an area of about 1 hectare. Some historical highlights around the square include the 12th-century belfry and the Provincial Court (originally the Waterhall, which in 1787 was demolished and replaced by a classicist building that from 1850 served as provincial court and after a fire in 1878 was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style in 1887. In the center of the market stands the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck.

In 1995 the market was completely renovated. Parking in the square was removed and the area became mostly traffic-free, thus being more celebration friendly. The renovated market was reopened in 1996 with a concert by Helmut Lotti.
