The Biskajersplein is marked by a cluster of willow trees that shade its uneven, weathered paving stones. While tourists crowd the nearby market squares, this plaza remains a quiet pocket of the city. Centuries ago, this site served as the primary gathering point for the powerful Guild of Fishmongers, who operated their stalls along the canal edge. The guild members held strict control over the local trade, and the stone relief of a fish still visible on a nearby facade marks their old territory.
