The Grote Makt (Town Square) of Antwerp may not be as large as that of Brussels, but it is certainly as grand.
As was customary, the guilds built their headquarters on the square, each trying to demonstrate their individual power and status through the grand architecture of their buildings. In the centre of the square stands the Brabo Fountain, which was built in 1887.
