Vesten van West-Brugge (West Bruges City Ramparts)

The Ramparts of West Bruges are a little less well-known, but it is here that the medieval structure of the ramparts can be most easily grasped, as you can see both the double embankment and the double moat. The soft yellow 14th century Smedenpoort (Blacksmith’s Gate) is also the most elegant of the city gates with which Bruges abounds. Right beside it, there runs an innovative, suspended pedestrian bridge, from which to admire the gate at your ease. Can you spot the bronze skull?
