Roulers, Belgium - Spanish Corner (circa 1919): A captivating snapshot of the past, this image transports us back in time to the Spanish Corner in Roulers, Belgium. The Spanish Corner, also known as the "Espagne" or "Espaigne" corner, was a popular gathering place for the Spanish-speaking community in this Belgian town. The photograph showcases a lively scene of people socializing and exchanging coins on the cobblestone street. The Spanish influence is evident in the vibrant colors of the Spanish flag, which flies proudly above the crowd. The Spanish language is spoken freely, as evidenced by the signs and conversations taking place. The image captures the essence of cultural diversity and community in Roulers during this era.
