Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp

The gothic cathedral of Antwerp is six hundred years old, and has survived several Catholic-Protestant wars and a French invasion at the time of the revolution. The 123-meter spire shown here makes it the tallest church in Benelux.

Manneken Pis, Brussels

A full scale chocolate reproduction of the Manneken Pis in a Brussels shop. There are many legends about the small statue imitated here, either representing a child lord, or a missing boy, or an hero who peed on the fuse of explosives which would have otherwise blown up the city walls. In the four hundred years since the statue was put in place, the Manneken Pis has become the symbol of Bruxelles; Belgian chocolate in general is also renowned all over Europe.
