Historisch centrum/Vrijdagmarkt-site

[Vrijdagmarkt route]

In previous centuries, this square – at that time still without the statue of Jacob Van Artevelde – was where the greater part of public political and social life took place. It was here that rulers were solemnly received, feasts celebrated and feuds settled. Apart from the 15th-century, all the buildings on the Vrijdagmarkt date from the 18th century and the monumental socialist house of the people (Ons Huis, Bond Moyson) even dates from the beginning of the 20th century.
