Some photos of the Markt (Market Square) in Bruges:-

The statue you can see in the above photo – a seat for tired tourists – is of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck, two local heroes from the 14th Century:-

These horse-drawn carriages were offering trips round the city. At €50 each we gave that a bye. Shanks’s pony is better for you anyway.

I liked this compasstower. It has a Deco feel (rule of three in the windows) but I suspect it is much earlier:-

The Provincial Court takes up one side of the square:-

On the square’s south side lies the Belfry of Bruges:-
