Gråbrødretorv

Latin Quarter · Medieval Square · Free

The prettiest square in the old town sits on a suppressed monastery. I read the Reformation in the fact that the friars are gone and the colour stayed.

A cobbled square on the site of a 13th-century Greyfriars monastery, dissolved at the Reformation — the coloured houses are post-fire rebuilds around a sombre history.
