Brusselpoort

"The Brusselpoort" is the only remaining medieval town gate of which Mechelen had several. Several centuries ago Mechelen was completely walled in and access only possible through one of the town gates.
Even nowadays us locals still talk about extra-muros (when you lived outside of the town walls) or intra-muros when living within the safety of the walls.
Definitely worth visiting / taking a look at when you visit Mechelen!

I enjoyed exploring the site and wandering through it. It is an interesting building in the middle of the road. I enjoyed looking at it and spent five minutes taking photographs, but nothing more.

This is my go-to place for buses within and out of Mechelen, without having to go to the bus and railway station.
There are a few shops, including a Carrefour Express at the corner, a specialist photography shop, a pizzeria and an Agentschap (school) for Integratie and Inburgering (which I made use of).

Nice to see from opposite side of the road, but prefer not in the 'rain' pouring down like a rainforrest shower ! ☘

Nice place to visit

One of the twelve till nowadays survived town gates and it really looks nice!

This is the beautiful cross section and being used as roundabout.

This is one of the old ports in Belgium. It's in between two major streets in Mechelen so it's a bit difficult to go in without permission.

Very beautiful access gate of the old city
