Markt
The heart of the old town, a rare triangular square lined with the town hall and historic gabled houses, with a statue of the painter Hieronymus Bosch in the centre.
The Markt is the heart of Den Bosch and is unusually triangular in shape. Around it stand the neoclassical town hall (carillon concerts every half hour, with mechanical knights appearing on the hour), De Moriaan, the city's oldest brick house, and rows of café terraces. In the centre is a bronze statue of Hieronymus Bosch, honouring the master who was born here and spent nearly his whole life in his hometown. His former house is on the east side of the square. Every Wednesday and Saturday morning a large open-air market sets up, where you can buy cheese, flowers and snacks. From here it's a few minutes' walk to the cathedral and the canal quay.
