The Grote Markt, located at the base of the Martinitoren, is a historic square known for its traditional trade and the iconic town hall, which has stood for over two centuries. Surrounded by distinctive buildings, the town hall, built in 1810, is the political heart of Groningen, where decisions shaping the city’s future have been made.
Opposite the town hall stands the region’s most iconic structure, the 97-meter-high Martinitoren. This tower, a symbol of resilience, remains the tallest building in the city.
