St. Michael's Cathedral in Brussels
About
The Cathedral of Saint Michael combines three styles: Romanesque, Renaissance, and Gothic. Moreover, the Gothic style is foundational and central to the cathedral, to which all other styles are supplementary.
The facade of the building is divided into two towers, each 69 meters tall, between which lies a vast portal adorned with statues of saints. Inside each tower, there are staircases leading to a large terrace. The church doors are decorated with wrought relief elements, enhancing the strength of the entire wooden structure. The interior of the Cathedral of Saint Michael is distinguished by its luxury, with colorful stained glass windows and an oak altar featuring embossed copper figures of angels immediately catching the attention of tourists.
