The Grand Place (French, pronounced: [ɡʁɑ̃ plas]; also used in English) or Grote Markt (Dutch, pronounced [ˌɣroːtə ˈmɑrkt]) is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by opulent guildhalls and two larger edifices, the city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse (French: Maison du Roi, Dutch: Broodhuis) building containing the Museum of the City of Brussels. The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft), and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the 10th century, Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine constructed a fort on Saint-Géry Island, the furthest inland point at which the Senne river was still navigable. This was the seed of what would become Brussels. By the end of the 11th century, an open-air marketplace was set up on a dried-up marsh near the fort that was surrounded by sandbanks. The market was called the Nedermerckt, or Lower Market.
The market likely developed around the same time as the commercial development of Brussels. A document from 1174 mentions a lower market (Latin: forum inferius) not far from the port on the Senne river. The market was well situated along the Causeway (Dutch: Steenweg), an important commercial road which connected the prosperous regions of the Rhineland and the County of Flanders.

A 15 minutes long sound and light show by Patrick Rimoux (light sculptor) and Dan Lacksman (composer) at Grand Place in Brussels.
For the 2014 - 2015 edition of « Plaisirs d’Hiver » in Brussels, we were invited to create a brand new sound and light show. After having enlightened « Electrabel Nights » 2007, 2009 and 2011, we imagined a new visual & lighting scenography which was inaugurated on November 28th, 2014. On this occasion we took over the perennial installation consisting of 1600 rails and LED spotlights highlighting the Grand-Place, architectural heritage recognized by UNESCO, for an impressionist show evoking the passing of seasons and arrival of Christmas in this exceptional setting. Our creative concept is inspired by the seasons, their importance and graceful beauty in urban environment. The majestic Brussels Grand-Place transforms, as the leaves lay golden on the ground before whirling in the autumnal...

The most common theory of the origin of Brussels' name is that it derives from the Old Dutch Broekzele or Broeksel, meaning marsh (broek) and home (zele / sel) or "home in the marsh". The origin of the settlement that was to become Brussels lies in Saint Gaugericus' construction of a chapel on an island in the river Senne around 580. Saint Vindicianus, the bishop of Cambrai made the first recorded reference to the place "Brosella" in 695 when it was still a hamlet. The official founding of Brussels is usually situated around 979, when Duke Charles of Lower Lotharingia transferred the relics of Saint Gudula from Moorsel to the Saint Gaugericus chapel. Charles would construct the first permanent fortification in the city, doing so on that same island. (wikipedia)
