Het Steen is a medieval fortress situated on the banks of the River Scheldt in Antwerp's historic city center. Originally built in the early 13th century, it has served various roles, including a gate to the city, a prison, and now a museum. Its striking Gothic and Renaissance architecture is noteworthy for photo-travelers, especially with its fairy-tale turrets and decorative elements. The nearby promenade offers panoramic views of the river, perfect for capturing expansive landscape shots. Close to Het Steen is the 'Quai Steenplein,' where you'll find the 'Monument to the Dock Workers' sculpture, which adds historical context to your photographs. Early morning or late afternoon light enhances the fortress's textures and the surrounding cobblestone streets.
