A medieval bell tower in the city centre, the Belfry of Bruges formerly housed a treasury, municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other dangers. The tower's 47 bells, weighing around 27.5 tonnes, regulate the city dwellers' lives and are played by a carillonneur on special occasions.
