Description
The Waterpoort is a historical monument in Antwerp that dates back to the 16th century. It is one of the few remaining gates that were part of the original city walls of Antwerp. The Waterpoort was originally intended to protect the city against invaders and consisted of two towers connected by a gatehouse . Later, when the city walls were demolished, the Waterpoort was preserved as a symbol of Antwerp's rich history. Today, the Waterpoort is a major tourist attraction and a popular photo location. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals. The Waterpoort is also of historical importance because of the role it has played in Antwerp's history. For example, it was the location of the landing of the French King Louis XIV during his conquest of the city in 1667. |
