Venetiaanse Gaanderijen, Protected monument and arcade in Ostend, Belgium.
The Venetiaanse Gaanderijen stretches along the seafront with classical architecture featuring arches, columns, and detailed stonework decorating its extended structure.
Commissioned by King Leopold II in 1900, architect Henri Maquet designed this covered walkway to connect the royal villa with a spacious octagonal salon.
The galleries now function as exhibition spaces, displaying various art collections and hosting cultural events throughout the year for both residents and visitors.
Located at Zeedijk, the galleries open Tuesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00, with admission prices ranging from free for children to 8 euros for adults.
The structure combines Belgian coastal architecture with Venetian design elements, creating a covered promenade that protects visitors from North Sea weather conditions.
