Very Orla talks about what you can see and do in Antwerp in Belgium. There is so much history, culture, architecture and diamonds too. Why not listen to her podcast on Antwerp and other podcast…
Where did the name Antwerp come from? There's a folk tale of a giant called Antigone who lived in Hedstein.
When a skipper couldn't or wouldn't pay, the giant would cut off his right hand and cast it into the river.
One day, a brave Roman soldier called Bravo confronted him.
A bit like David and Goliath, Bravo defeated the greedy giant, cut off his hand and threw it into the Scheldt River.
The Scheldt has always deposited a lot of sludge on its banks.
The result was a continuous build-up of sludge, or in Dutch, which the word would be Angwarpen.
