Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country. The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. Bruges has most of its medieval architecture intact. Many of its medieval buildings are notable, including the Church of Our Lady, it is one of the world's highest brick towers/buildings. The sculpture Madonna and Child, which can be seen in the transept, is believed to be Michelangelo's only sculpture to have left Italy within his lifetime. Bruges' most famous landmark is its 13th-century belfry. Other famous buildings in Bruges include: The Beguinage, The Basilica of the Holy Blood (Dutch: Heilig-Bloedbasiliek), The modern Concertgebouw ("Concert Building"), The Old St-John's Hospital, The Saint Salvator's Cathedral, The Groeningemuseum, The City Hall on the Burg square, The Provincial Court (Provinciaal Hof), The preserved old city gateways: the Kruispoort, the Gentpoort, the Smedenpoort and the Ezelpoort. Bruges also has a very fine collection of medieval and early modern art, including the world-famous collection of Flemish Primitives.
CHURCH OF OUR LADY Being one of the worlds highest brick tower/ building, is a must see sight.
SCULPTURE OF MADONNA AND CHILD For the tourists to get to see one of Michelangelo sculpture ( outside Italy) must be a great delight.
PICTURE OF CANAL WITH A BRIDGE Beautiful buildings on either sides of the canal, boat with tourists sailing on the waters, trees and flowers at certain places and the bridge over the canal all very lovely.
DIFFERENT STATUES AT VARIOUS POINTS All statues are worth watching, which tells us about their glorious past.
BRUGES MEDIEVAL BUILDINGS Medieval building, the Cathedral, the Museum, the City-Hall, Concert building all are beautiful and lovely to watch.
Trees, green parks, large places in between buildings and other places for the people to move around freely, and the cleanliness every where is just wonderful. Thus this city of Bruges no wonder is worlds heritage site of UNESCO.
PICTURE OF SYMPHONY AND HER FRIEND Great company, Great friendship.
10th PICTURE FROM THE TOP DOWNWARDS ( Symphony inside a building ) This picture of Symphony looking sideways ( towards the camera ) is very natural look and the innocent smiling face, the look in her eyes, the beautiful eye-brows, the proportionate nose, lovely lips, smooth chin, fleshy cheeks and the black silky hair falling on the shoulders, all put together is a source of inspiration for poets to write poetry on Symphonys INNOCENCE, BEAUTY, AND YOUTH.
