History
Bruges evolved from a Roman settlement to a medieval trading hub; when its harbor silted in, the city’s decline preserved an exceptional collection of medieval architecture that later became a focus of 19th-century restoration.
Conservation
High visitor numbers strain narrow streets and fragile interiors—stick to marked paths, avoid leaning on historic masonry, and respect signage at sensitive sites to support ongoing preservation.
