Summary[edit]

Description

This is a secondary square near the town hall in the Flemish medieval town of Brugge, usually known in English by its French name Bruges.

Brugge used to be a booming medieval trade center, thanks to its proximity to the North Sea and its extensive network of canals. But as the sea link silted up and more modern ports in Zeebrugge and Antwerpen took over, it fell into decay, until being rediscovered as a medieval time capsule by more recent travelers. Its cathedral houses the only Michelangelo sculpture to leave Italy during his lifetime.
