Burg Square

Burg Square is one of Bruges’ most historic and architecturally varied landmarks. Once the political heart of the city, it is framed by notable buildings including the Gothic Town Hall, the Basilica of the Holy Blood, and the former courthouse. Its compact layout makes it easy to explore on foot, and its mix of civic and religious history offers a strong sense of Bruges’ past. For visitors interested in architecture, local heritage, or a central stop near the Markt, Burg Square is well worth a short visit.
