The centre of Bruges life, Markt is lined with former corporation buildings decorated with long gables, and the covered market, dominated by a lofty belfry. In the centre of the square, a statue of Pieter de Coninck and Jan Breydel evokes the heroes of the revolt of 1302. To the east of the square, you will see three fine, beautifully crafted neo-Gothic buildings: the provincial palace, post office and Historium, which transports visitors back to the 15C, the city's golden age.
