Bruges Market Square

Classic Brugge cards view.

The Markt of Bruges is located in the heart of the city and covers an area of about 1 hectare.

The belfry of Bruges, or Belfort, is a medieval bell tower in the historical centre of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger.

Some historical highlights around the square include the 12th-century belfry and the Provincial Court (originally the Waterhall, which in 1787 was demolished and replaced by a classicist building that from 1850 served as provincial court and after a fire in 1878 was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style in 1887.

In the center of the market stands the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck.

Night lights are so marvellous.

The statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck in the evening.

It was really nice to hang out on the numeric benches that are all over the market square in the evening.
