In this part of the city, called Klein Antwerpen (translated as Small Antwerp) you can find an alley between a busy road and Sint-Vincentius hospital. Rumor has it this alley, it doesn't even have a name, was used to get rid of the bodies unnoticed of the casualties of a the "cholera epidemic" in 1848. In this hidden alley the talented graffiti artist Gun-T made some famous residents of this hood immortal: Wannes Van De velde a singer/song writer, painter Frans van Kuyck and wrestler Alfons Steurs can be admired in full glory.
Accesible through Maurice Verbaetsteeg.
