Description

Only one building of the old part of Antwerp escaped demolition when the quays on the river Scheldt were constructed in the 19th century: 't Steen (the Stone). The Steen was built around the year 1200 as the fortification of the alluvial mound. It was named Steen, which is Dutch for stone, as it was one of the first buildings constructed in stone.

excellent capture and the place is oozing with character. It must be really interesting to do a tour of the inside. tell me you did! Probably they restrict fotos within the walls, if it is like many places in the states. vote

Magnifique, impressionnant, grandiose! Du grand art... Je me suis amusremplacer le fond blanc par un ciel bleu mais aucune tentative ne me satisfait. En fait, pour une fois, le ciel blanc vient encore plus appuyer la beautet la force du sujet central (c'est mon avis). Il apparait plus nettement et c'est "tant mieux" parce que ces pierres sont vraiment admirables. Chapeau!
