Have you watched the tragicomedy "Lie low in Bruges"? Then you will definitely recognize the Belfort Tower, which starred there in one of the roles ... The watchtower Belfort, typical of medieval Flemish cities, was built in order to sound the alarm in case of danger (the construction dates back to the 13th-14th centuries). In fact, this is a secular, not a church bell tower, which today has become a symbol of the city. Belfort can be climbed by a narrow spiral staircase, passing 366 steps, to the observation deck.
