PLACE SAINTE-CATHERINE, OLD PORT AND BEGUINAGE
Charming square with its daily market and old houses from the 16th and 18th centuries
A map of Brussels from the 1700s would have shown you a series of basins to the northwest of the city. These constituted the inner harbor, the culmination of a canal dug in the 16th century. As the canal was modernized in the 19th century, the old basins were filled in one after the other, no longer needed. Today, they form an integral part of a pleasant, quiet cobbled district around the Béguinage church, one of the city's most romantic. Along the old basins, seafood restaurants abound. Not far away is the Place Sainte-Catherine, forming the square in front of the church of the same name. It is absolutely charming, with its weekly market and old houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
