The center piece of this square is the statue of Hercules built in 1703; this strong, heroic figure is supposed to symbolize Heidelberg's non-stop efforts in rebuilding the city after it was destroyed in the 1700s. Markplatz is the main square located at the end of Hauptstraße, next to the Rathaus. Many pedestrians and tourists gather here to dine in the outdoor cafes and enjoy the warm weather. During the summer, local farmer's markets are held here twice a week- best spot to buy fresh fruit and vegetables!
