Description

La Waterpoort era una porta cittadina sul fiume Schelda a Anversa. Fu eretta nel 1624 come arco onorario per il re Filippo IV. L'arco fu costruito in Vlasmarkt da Hubrecht van den Eynde con l'aiuto di Hans van Mildert. Sebbene il progetto sia attribuito a Rubens, non ci sono prove del coinvolgimento di Rubens, a differenza dell'identità degli scultori. La porta era anche conosciuta come Maaigat o Maeyersgat perché qui si trovava una statua della Madonna. A seguito di lavori lungo le banchine del fiume Schelda, la porta fu spostata negli anni 1880 a Sint-Jansvliet. Quando in quel luogo nel 1933 dovette apparire l'edificio di ingresso della nuova galleria Sint-Annavoetganger, la porta fu nuovamente spostata. Nel 1936 fu infine ricostruita a Gillisplaats a Het Zuid, ai docks meridionali riempiti.
