Description
Magnificent facades, where the embassies of the trading nations and the mansions of the leading merchants were once located along the Spiegelrei canal in charming Bruges, Belgum.
Bruges’ history stretches back to the 9th century when it was founded by Vikings and in the 13th-15th centuries, it was already an important trading center at the crossroads between the Hansa cities of Scandinavia, England and Germany (known collectively in those days as the ‘Easterners’) and the most important commercial regions in France, Spain and Italy.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam and St Petersburg, Bruge is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North, and it's name probably derives from the Old Dutch for "bridge" - brugga.
