# Schipperskwartier (Sailors' Quarter)

A historic district near the old port, named for the bargemen and sailors who once worked its quays. Since the 19th century it has been Antwerp's red-light district, later reshaped by a major regeneration that confined window prostitution to three tolerated streets.
