The importance of textiles to Tournai cannot be overstated: the city experienced its greatest prosperity thanks to the international trade in cloth and tapestries, particularly in the Middle Ages and the 15th century. This prosperity made Tournai a center of innovation, with powerful merchants, luxurious houses, and monuments such as the Cloth Hall and the imposing belfry on the Grand Place. This economic wealth was primarily generated by the high-quality textile production, renowned far beyond the region. The Cloth Hall is not only a masterpiece of architectural fusion but also the tangible symbol of Tournai's textile past—the foundation of Tournai's historical wealth and prestige.
