Here we are at the old harbour of Bruges, once a bustling maritime hub during the medieval period, played a crucial role in shaping the city's economic and cultural identity. During the 12th to 15th centuries, Bruges flourished as one of the most important trading cities in Northern Europe. The old harbour, was the beating heart of the city's international commerce. Merchant ships from the Hanseatic League, Venice, Genoa, England, and the Baltic states arrived with goods like wool, spices, silk, grain, and wine. In return, Bruges exported fine Flemish cloth, tapestries, and other local products. This international trade attracted bankers, merchants, and diplomats, turning Bruges into a cosmopolitan city with a vibrant economy and cultural life.
