Os oitenta e três metros de altura do Belfort ajudam a localizar sem problemas a Praça do Mercado - Markt que juntamente com a Burg são as duas praças mais importantes da cidade e símbolos de uma época de grande prosperidade.
Há mais de mil anos funcionava aqui um mercado semanal hoje em dia podemos ver que ainda está ligada ao comércio, todas as quartas-feiras há um mercado que promove os produtos da região.
Funcionava como o seu principal centro comercial na época medieval e á sua volta podemos ver vários "guildhalls" - edificios que foram construídos para cada oficio e que hoje em dia albergam essas lojas e cafés.
The eighty three meters high Belfort helps you find without problems the Market Square (Markt) that together with the Burg are the two most important squares of the city and the symbols of an era of great prosperity,
A thousand years ago a weekly market was held here today we can see that it's still linked to the trade, every Wednesday there's a market that promotes the product of this region.
It was it's main commercial center in medieval times and surrounding it you can see several "guildhalls" - buildings that were built for each trade and today house stores and cafés.
Ao centro um monumento dedicado a Pieter de Coninck e Jan Breydel construído no século XIX. Pieter dedicava-se á tecelagem e Jan era talhante, ambos lideraram a revolta contra a invasão dos franceses em 1302.
Do lado esquerdo do Belfort podemos ver um impressionante edificio da Provinciaal Hop Of de estilo neo-gótico e do seu lado direito está o edificio dos correios.
Vimos uma fila estranha na praça e depois percebemos para que era, esperavam a sua vez para dar uma volta por Bruges de carruagem. Aliás por toda a Markt o que podemos ver circular para além de pessoas, são as carruagens e as bicicletas.
In the center there's a monument dedicated to Pieter de Coninck and Jan Breydel built in the XIX century. Pieter was a weaver and Jan a butcher, both led the rebellion against the french invasion in 1302.
From the left side of the Belfort we could see the impressive building of the Provinciaal Hop Of of neo-gothic style and next to it is the post office.
We saw a strange queue on the square only to realize that they were waiting their turn for a ride through Brugge by carriage. Indeed throught the Markt what you can see besides people walking around are, carriages and bicycles.

De noite e também por ser Natal, a sua iluminação e decoração tornam-na ainda mais apelativa. Nela estava a decorrer o Mercado de Natal com uma pista de gelo ao centro, várias bancas de artesanato e comida.
At night and also because it was Christmas, the light and the decoration make this square even more interesting. In it there was the Christmas Market with an ice ring in the center, several stalls with crafts and food.
