★★★★★3 years agoThe Eiermarkt was the once the source of potable water from the drinking fountain. Today, it’s a square filled with cafes for dinner and an apéritif. The Rembrandt resto served pretty good carbonara and rolled soles

★★★★★a year agoФонтан прикрашений скульптурою, що зображує левів, що борються із драконом чи змією, що символізує боротьбу та перемогу над злом. В основі фонтану знаходиться декоративний елемент у вигляді голови лева, з пащі якого ллється вода, що служить водостоком. Фонтан розташований на площі, оточеній характерними для Брюгге історичними будівлями з ресторанчиками та кафе.
