In the location's words:

Even if the cattle market welcomes visitors today as a modern square with a rather sober stone appearance, the red stone paths in the paving that intersect at the southern end of the open space indicate that great history once took place here: the Cardo and the Decimanus Maximus, the two main axes of the ancient city, ran here.

In Roman Trier, the cattle market thermal baths and the forum as a political, cultural and social center were located here. Later, the Capuchins strolled here in their garden before the cattle moved in with the Prussians. This is no longer sold at the cattle market today, but fruit and vegetables, herbs and flowers, sausage and cheese, baked goods and delicatessen products are. And on a regular basis: at the weekly market, which opens its open-air halls every Tuesday and Friday between 8 am and 2 pm (April to September from 7 am). The largest square in the city center also hosts funfairs, design markets and other special events, both modern and traditional. The cattle market can do both.
