Bruges - Grote Markt

Bruges already had its city charter in 1128 and was a very important member of the Hanseatic League. It was the prospering center of the Flemish cloth industry.

Between 1200 and 1500 Bruges had a kind of "Golden Era". Bruges was a leading European business community.

Center of the historic city of Bruges is the "Grote Markt" lined by impressive buildings. In the backdrop is the belltower of the Sint-Salvatorskathedraal (St. Salvator's Cathedral).
