Greenmarket square

Greenmarket Square is a square in the centre of old Cape Town. The square was built in 1696, when a burgher watch house was built. The square has served as a slave market, a vegetable market. The market developed early on when the VoC brought vegetables from its adjoining garden for sale to Cape Town residents. Farmers and freed slaves soon also began to bring their produce here in wagons and carts .

More recently, a flea market trading mainly African souvenirs, crafts, and African art, clothing, jewellery, and curios has been set up.
