World Heritage: Centre of Bruges VIII
The tower is the Belfry of Bruges, a medieval bell tower.
Bruges is an outstanding example of a medieval historic settlement, which has maintained its historic fabric as this has evolved over the centuries, and where original Gothic constructions form part of the town's identity. The different phases of its development include the central Market Place with its belfry, the Béguinage, as well as the hospitals, the religious and commercial complexes. As one of the commercial and cultural capitals of Europe, Bruges developed cultural links to different parts of the world.
