Bruges, 1300

Bruges in 1300 is a thriving wool metropolis whose belfry and the great Waterhalle watch over a ring of crowded canals and quays where cogs and hulks land cloth, spices and credit. The walk follows arrival at the Waterhalle, moves through market and cloth halls, the weavers' quarters, the beguinage and riverside guild-houses, and finishes on the ramparts with the city’s silhouette against low, watery fields.

34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Bruges as it stood in 1300 (“Bruges”).
