Belfort (Belfry)
The Belfry was constructed from the 13th to the 15th century. A daring, multi-stage feat, today listed as a World Heritage Site. The Belfry, with the City Halls at the bottom, is still the anchor of the architectural setting around the Market Square.
The Belfry's 366 steps will take you 83 metres high to the breathtaking view of Bruges and the spacious surroundings. On the way up, you will pass by the treasury. This is where the city's seal, public funds and charters were kept in the Middle Ages. Be sure to take a look at the keyboard that controls the 47 iconic carillon bells.
