Marktplatz und St.-Bavo-Kirche in Haarlem

The Marketplace and the Grote Kerk at Haarlem

This view shows the market place in Haarlem from the north-west. The Doric portico of the town hall is on the right. Opposite is the 15th-century Grote Kerk (church of St Bavo) and the vleeshal (meat market) to the right. Both these buildings remain largely unchanged today. However, the portico of the town hall, which casts a powerful shadow in the foreground, no longer exists.
