Antwerp Overview
Antwerp is a port city on Belgium’s River Scheldt, with history
dating to the Middle Ages. In its center, the centuries-old Diamond
District houses thousands of diamond traders, cutters and polishers.
Antwerp’s Flemish Renaissance architecture is typified by the Grote
Markt, a central square in the old town. At the 17th-century Rubens
House, period rooms display works by the Flemish Baroque painter Peter
Paul Rubens.
