Markt & City Hall
Markt / Stadhuis
A 17th-century Dutch classical city hall stands at the center of the Markt. On Wednesdays and Fridays, an open-air market fills the square.
The city hall was designed by Dutch architect Pieter Post and completed between 1659 and 1664. Its symmetrical façade and clock tower are classic examples of Dutch Golden Age classicism. The entrance hall is usually free to visit on weekdays. A bronze statue of Little Mina, the city's mascot, stands on the square. On Wednesday and Friday mornings, an open-air market sells fruit, vegetables, cheese, and clothing. On Fridays there is also a fish stall, where you can try kibbeling (fried fish bites).
