I love Brugge - a photo on Flickriver

I love Brugge

            The giant red heart on the Historium building sums up my feelings about Brugge, Belgium. I love this unique, vibrant, ancient city with its cobbled streets and canals steeped in history.

Pinpointing the exact age of Bruges is tricky because settlements existed well before the medieval city we know today. However, we can look at some key dates to get a sense of its long history:
Settlements existed in the Bruges area during the Bronze Age and Iron Age, predating the development of the medieval city.
The first written mention of Bruges as a settlement dates back to the 7th century. This was around the time it was called "Municipium Brugense".
Bruges received its city charter in 1128. This marked a significant step in its development as a major urban centre.
So, while human presence has existed in the Bruges area for thousands of years, the city itself is at least over 900 years old.
