The Tanner's Square and its Tanners' Guildhouse (1630) boast beautiful facades. The Belfry and Halles bear witness to Bruges' grandeur back in the 1th century. The Halles are built in Gothic style and the interior gallery in Renaissance style. The city's charters were kept in this 83 metre high tower and suspended from the bell that was used to warn citizens of any danger. Many pilgrimages to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela set out from Bruges.
