Capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders, Bruges is a snapshot of 5 centuries ago. Its history is one of rise, fall and rise again; in the 12<\/i>th <\/sup><\/i>century, soon after gaining the city status, river Zwin, which had given the settlement its prosperity by linking it to the North Sea, started to silt up. <\/i><\/p>\n The city fell in a sort of deep slumber which maintained the medieval heritage intact. Then, like in fairy tales, \u201cBruges the dead\u201d, in the 19<\/i>th<\/sup><\/i> century, woke up and transformed into the \u201cVenice of the North\u201d, one of the world\u2019s first tourist destinations. In 2000 the city centre was listed among Unesco World Heritage Sites. <\/i><\/p>\n Our landing place in town is the <\/i>Markt<\/i><\/b> (\u201cmarket square\u201d), with its gorgeous historical buildings, including the <\/i>Belfry<\/i><\/b>, one of the city\u2019s prominent symbols dating back to the 13<\/i>th<\/sup><\/i> century, when Bruges was prospering as an important centre of the Flemish cloth industry. The tower formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other dangers. <\/i><\/p>\n A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible to the public, leads to the top of the 83-metre-high building<\/i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n"}},"web":"https:\/\/girolibero.webmapp.it\/poi\/bruges\/","addr:street":"","addr:housenumber":"","addr:postcode":"","addr:city":"","contact:phone":"","contact:email":"","opening_hours":"","capacity":""},"geometry":{"type":"Point","coordinates":[3.228608518838882,51.213418738916516]}}
