‎Philip Marnix van Sint Aldegonde to Lode Craeybeckx and Jan Van Rijswijck to Patrick Janssens and Bart De Wever. The Town Hall at the Grote Markt knew in the course of history many mayors. But the building is a story in itself. The 450 year old building has to say over what happens in 't Clean Floor. This publication tells the rich story of this famous monument. This 450th anniversary will not go unnoticed, if only because the Town Hall is the only building in Antwerp on the UNESCO World Heritage site that still holds its original function. Antwerp city celebrates this anniversary for a whole year, from February 2015 to February 2016 with numerous events In 1565 the people of Antwerp proudly opened their new city hall. The Renaissance palazzo shone the greatness and autonomy of a world out. Shortly after the town hall burned out and lost Antwerp gradually starring role. But the city council went on decorating the town hall, with sculptures of Baurscheit, and paintings by Rubens, Metsijs, Francken, Van Veen or the Succa. Two hundred years later the city was what dozed off and showed the layout of the now very weathered building unusable. Shortage of money and lack of interest kept everything as it was. Yet assiduous city architects were more and more signs plans. The renovations from 1860 were in line with the tradition of greatness and autonomy: when was upstairs really Cleaning Floor. Re-did the city appeal to artists of the time such as Henri Leys and painters who were attached to the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts. This book takes the reader into the long history of the city hall of Antwerp. The book places the city hall in the context of political events and administrative history. The authors devote extensive attention to the architecture, building history and the role of the Market.‎

‎ANTWERP An Archealogical View on the Origin of the City / Imagine Antwerp without Rubens, without van Dyck, without the many artists who put the Scheldt city on the map in distant museums. Forget the Cathedral of Our Lady with its elegant, proud tower, forget the Antwerp diamond trade, forget the beating harbor heart with its thousands of shiploads. Forget almost everything you know in the Scheldt city. This book takes you to an unknown Antwerp, when the city was not yet a city, but a place along the river, a settlement that no one can suspect will grow into a metropolis. Where are the roots of Antwerp? Why do people settle there exactly and keep coming back? How can a once simple yard grow into a prosperous trading city, proud and strong? To better understand the origins and DNA of the city, the author digs for centuries-old traces and artefacts during excavations right in the medieval city center: in and around the Steen, the Scheldt quays, ... This book offers new insights into the city's least known history, from its inception to its earliest growth, from embryo to adolescent.‎
