About this audio guide
This guide to the Historium Bruges centers on the Duvelorium, a cafe on the Market Square built entirely around one Belgian beer brand, said to be the only bar on the planet pouring it on tap. It traces the odd run of buildings that have occupied this spot since the Waterhalle, a medieval covered dock hall where boats once unloaded wool and wine, came down in 1787, followed by two more buildings that each burned before the current one opened. Merchant boats, lime vats and fire all had a turn shaping this corner of the Market Square long before any bar opened here.
