EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the interior of the Belfry of Le Carillon in the heart of Bruges, Belgium. Dating back to the 13th century, this medieval bell tower has stood the test of time, its history echoing through the chimes of its bells. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a rare glimpse into the tower's inner workings. The bells, suspended in mid-air, are held in place by a wooden frame, their striking hammers poised and ready. Brickwork lines the walls, a testament to the structure's rich history, while the intricate carillon system allows the bells to be played from the ground. The Belfry of Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has long been a symbol of the city's medieval past. Its bells have marked the hours and signaled important events throughout the centuries. Today, visitors can climb the tower's narrow stairs to take in the breathtaking views of the historic centre of Bruges, a must-see destination for history buffs and travelers alike. This photograph, from The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to imagine the sounds and sights of a bygone era, transporting us to a time when the bells of the Belfry of Le Carillon ruled the roost in the charming Belgian city of Bruges.
