EDITORS COMMENTS
Bruges, the 'Venice of the North,' is a city in western Belgium renowned for its picturesque canals, medieval architecture, and rich cultural heritage. This evocative photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures the serene beauty of the Rosary Dock or Rozenhoedkaal (Rosary Quay), a charming waterfront area nestled along the Ruitergoot Canal. The image showcases the quaint quayside, with its cobblestone pathway and traditional Belgian houses, reflecting in the tranquil waters. The Rosary Dock is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into the past as they stroll along the canal banks, taking in the sights and sounds of this enchanting city. In the background, the iconic Belfry of Bruges, or Beffroi, towers majestically over the scene. This 13th-century Gothic structure, with its distinctive bell tower, is a symbol of Bruges' history and resilience. It has long been a landmark for sailors and travelers, guiding them to the heart of the city. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the bustling quayside, where merchants once traded goods and travelers exchanged stories. Today, the Rosary Dock remains a beloved destination for visitors seeking to experience the timeless charm of Bruges.
