• Jan Van Eyckplein - This is the old harbor of Bruges, a bustling maritime hub during the medieval period, crucial in shaping the city’s economic and cultural identity. From the 12th to 15th centuries, Bruges thrived as a major trading city in Northern Europe. The old harbor was the heart of the city’s international commerce. Merchant ships from the Hanseatic League, Venice, Genoa, England, and the Baltic states brought goods like wool, spices, silk, grain, and wine. In return, Bruges exported fine Flemish cloth, tapestries, and other local products. This international trade attracted bankers, merchants, and diplomats, transforming Bruges into a cosmopolitan city with a vibrant economy and cultural life.
• Almshouses Rooms Convent - The almshouses throughout the city are small historic houses, traditionally built around a quiet courtyard, where elderly or poor people were provided free lodging. These charming whitewashed houses, often with a chapel and garden, reflect the city’s centuries-old tradition of charity and care. Many still exist today and can be visited, offering a peaceful glimpse into Bruges’ social history.
