What are the tourist attractions in Belgium?

The full name of Belgium is the Kingdom of Belgium. Belgium is at the crossroads of Europe, both geographically and culturally. So what are the main tourist attractions in Belgium? Let’s take a look at what tourist attractions there are in Belgium

City of Mons/MONS

In the land of the Duke of Hainaut in the Middle Ages, the city It faced multiple sieges and invasions starting from its capital, Mons. Therefore, the medieval heritage is very sparse. There are only some remains of 11th and 13th century walls, some single cells, tunnels and some broken tiles of the count's castle. wall.

The city was indeed bombed by Louis XIV, just like Brussels. Its city hall building, the Steut Church, and its 100% Baroque bell tower make this city a well-preserved treasure. However, for those who have thought about leaving the green boulevards of the ranch to the engineers of the highway project, you will see that they deserve a slap in the face.

The first citizen of Brussels, Yu Lian

In 1619, the Belgian sculptor Jerome Duquesnot carefully built this bronze statue. Yu Lian's innocent and lively posture, lifelike expression, and his story of bravery and unafraid of sacrifice touched many people. Since the Governor-General of Bavaria gave him his first golden dress in 1698, guests from all over the world have rushed to give Yu Lian clothes with their own national characteristics. To this day, Yu Lian's clothes have established a museum. If you visit Brussels in autumn, please remember that on October 1st every year, Yu Lian will put on the double-breasted red trousers and jackets that we gave him as a gift, with his fluffy hair, upturned nose, and smiling look. , must be festive and playful.

Museums, buildings and attractions

The benefits of the Grand Place are reflected in its architectural style and the city hall building. People can also observe and admire the beauty of the colors. Here, ever since the unfortunate destruction of the city in the 1970s, people have immediately repainted the facades of some special houses with bright colors. On the basis of some newspapers and some past sketches, the Monteres rediscovered the tones and plasters they had used previously. Every city has its hue. During the era of French annexationism at the end of the 18th century, several cities were forced to whitewash the undersides of buildings and remove a large number of Baroque-style decorations, otherwise they would be suspected of anti-revolutionary pacifism.

Charleroi

It is a wonderful mixture of beauty and ugliness. It has many beautiful buildings but is left to weather naturally. The dilapidated buildings make people forget the beauty of the past. At the same time, it has both the new and dilapidated beauty of architectural art, which the people of Black Village did not pay due attention to. You'll just have to discover it yourself (or become the owner of one of these homes? And do business). This is also a way of showing hospitality to the people of Black Village.

Place Charles II

This square in the upper town retains its original layout and recreates its appearance. These are the remains of star-shaped military buildings. The original layout was created by the Spanish-era engineers Vias and Dejean Braunil. (The latter was a Belgian military engineer who used this pattern not only for Charleroi, but also for Ostende Odenard and Cos). Later, Ubang also adopted the above method.

City Hall, Charles II Square This is a masterpiece from the 1930s, with a thick layer of black dust falling on it. The city government building is trapezoidal, noble, elegant and carefully crafted. The main building's surface shape is abstract, embodying a lot of labor. Relatively speaking, Charleroi is a young city and has not experienced the belfry era. So the skilful architect Szal added a bell tower, offset in the center, thus leaving room for a symmetrical appearance of the main building.
