Legends tell about a giant who once lived nearby Antwerp. He made sailors pay him in order to have a save passage on the river called "de Schelde". However. One brave roman soldier called Silvius Brabo chopped of the giants hand and threw it in the river. Today Antwerp is the biggest Flemish city. It has a strong economy and the streets are honored with some huge barok buildings. Next to its power it has a great eye for fine arts as juwelery ( diamonds ), paintings ( Rubens, Jordaens and Teniers ) and fashion. The people of Antwerp have no doubt about the fact that their city is the best in the entire world.
