| | From the Naberpassage, an alley we enter the Market from the East Side | |
| | | The Central Market with City Hall | |
| | | The Central Market is really the geographical centre of the Old City | |
|
| | And the spiritual centre too. This is our pride and the joy : the Martini Tower | |
| | |
| | every now and then there is talk of breaking open the Market.-again... | |
| | | Approaching the City Hall with the Monument to our Liberation by Candian Forces | |
| | | Groningen , as was almost all of Europe was occupied by Nazi Germany during WWII | |
|
| | As is described here, Allied Canadian Forces liberated us from Tiranny in 1945 | |
| | | The Majors Office is right upthere. | |
| | | Our so called " Horeca Wall" at the South Side of the Market. | |
|
| | It is all owned by one (Fat) Guy | |
| | | Not the Cafe' Hooghoudt , which is named after our Cities' famous & distillery | |
| | | At the end of an afternoon , Hooghoudt is the spot to enjoy a beer and some sun | |
|
| | Catching a Terrace is a very popular passtime for the City Dwellers | |
| | | After a workday , evryone wants to be there | |
| | | Enjoy the sun , enjoy life , enjoy the historiccal fronts at the Market | |
|
| | Enjoy history by ordering a shot of Hooghoudt. A very tough but clear Gin | |
| | | Since we are Dutch , and liberated .. we have very colorful marriages | |
| | | Sigh, what a lovely bride and groom... And such a nice building | |
|
| | | | I'm unsure what the Child Symbolises... | |
|
| | But I always enjoy looking at this Architecture | |
| | | The Front Door of City Hall | |
| | | Tiny Door for Official Ceremony | |
|
| | |
| | The wedding is about to start ! | |
| | | This is the Moment of their lives? The Martini Records it | |
| | | Around the Northern Corner we find the Bust of Rabenhaubt | |
|
| I am still to find out what he has done
Got himself a street named after 'em too | |
| | | | The Gold Office or Goudkantoortje | |
|
| | | The Gold Office is a Cafe'-Restaurant | |
| | | obviously it is of historic importance | |
|
| | a historical heritage of The Netherlands and Groningen in perticular | |
| | | One should not miss having had an intimate dinner here sometime... | |
| |
| | | These very rich frontage are a model for similar ones around the City Centre | |
