I know that it is the premier port of Belgium and that the city was terribly destroyed during World War II. I also know that besides Amsterdam & Rotterdam, it was also the home of Flemish art and was particularly well known for its skilled tapestry weavers. I have seen fine examples of these tapestries called ‘gobelins’ displayed at Wawel Castle in Krakow, Poland.
