In 1238, a Franciscan convent settled down near the Grand-Place. The convent played an important role in the social and religious life of Brussels for a long time. This site is open to the public.

   

Bruxella 1238 © GIAL At the beginning of the 19th century, a butter market occupied the site. At the end of the century it was replaced by a trade market.

In 1988, renovation works on the Rue de la Bourse allowed to uncover numerous graves as well as the choir of the conventual church.

With the cooperation of the Royal Society of Archaeology of Brussels, the site was opened for the public in 1994 by the City of Brussels.
