0127 BRUGGE THE SURPRISING…
Tour of Europe 04 2016
Day 12
The Fishmarket (Vismarkt) of Bruges is also a special place. Yes, it is a market square, built in the beginning of the 19th century, they still do sell fish there on one corner in the mornings from Tuesday till Saturday. But for several years artists, craftsmen and different market people sell their or others’ creations here as well. It is a kind of a market community, organism living its own life, you can feel it pulsate, if you go there.
In 1821 came the covered place of sale, to the design of city architect Jan-Robert Calloigne . The result is a portico with Tuscan columns 126 enclosing a rectangular open courtyard. In 1852, the original wooden tables sales were replaced by banks selling bricks.
These are still present. Around the square you find fish shops and inns.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)
