Walk · 45 min · free · the Cloth Hall and the cathedral, rebuilt after 1918

When the war ended, Ypres was a field of rubble. The city decided to rebuild the centre exactly as it was: the Cloth Hall, one of the great civic Gothic buildings of Flanders, and St Martin's Cathedral, just behind it, were raised again stone by stone over the following decades. Today the Grote Markt, with its terraces, is the centre of everything.
What to see
The façade of the Cloth Hall, with the belfry; inside are the In Flanders Fields Museum, the Yper Museum and the tourist office. Behind it, St Martin's Cathedral, with free entry. Under the belfry, on the Sint-Maartensplein, there are public toilets.
