Ijzerenleen Square, Mechelen Live Cam

IJzerenleen is the long market street in the centre of Mechelen, and it runs across this view in northern Belgium. A delivery van is parked in the middle of the paving, and shopfronts with awnings run down both sides.

The street takes its name from the iron railings set up along it in the sixteenth century. The camera is mounted on the Schepenhuis, the aldermen's house of the thirteenth century and the oldest stone civic building in Flanders, which now holds the tourist office.

Market stalls fill the street on market days. Another camera a block away shows the Grote Markt with the city hall, which is the ceremonial square rather than the commercial one.
