The Grote Markt of Leuven, Belgium is situated between the Oude Markt (Old Square) and the Rector De Somerplein (De Somer Square, named for Pieter De Somer, the first rector of the autonomous Dutch-speaking University of Leuven in 1968) and near both the Bondgenotenlaan (Avenue of the Allied Forces) and the Muntstraat (Mint Street).
Its location on the crossing of some of Leuven’s most famous and most touristic spots makes the Grote Markt one of the city’s busiest squares.
