EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases the Grand Place of Antwerp, Belgium, also known as the Grote Markt or Great Market Square. The heart of the city, the Grand Place is a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its architectural grandeur and historical significance. At the center of the square, the Fontaine Brabo or Brabo Fountain, is a prominent feature. The fountain is named after Brabo, the legendary hero who, according to local folklore, founded Antwerp by killing a giant named Druon Antigoon and cutting off his hand, which was thrown into the river Scheldt. The statue atop the fountain depicts Brabo holding the hand of a giant, symbolizing the city's freedom from oppression. Surrounding the Grand Place are the Maisons des Corporations, or guildhalls, which date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. These magnificent structures, adorned with intricate details and ornate facades, represent the various guilds and corporations that once governed the city's economic and social life. The harmonious blend of Flemish Baroque and Renaissance architectural styles creates a breathtaking tableau that has made the Grand Place of Antwerp a must-visit destination for travelers from around the world. This photograph, with its rich history and stunning visual appeal, offers a glimpse into the past and the enduring charm of Antwerp, Belgium.
