Talking about Antwerp





Antwerp is the second largest city of Belgium. The 500.000 inhabitants call it the 'Metropolis'.
This city has so many different facets that it takes a while before one gets to know it thoroughly.
Antwerp is a splendid city with numerous architectural highlights, most of which date from the 16th (the golden era of Antwerp) and the 17th century.


The destructions of the Second World War, unfortunately, have scarred somehow the fair face of the old town. Still there are enough monuments left for those who like monument hopping to spend a few days admiring them.

Gorgeous blog, Celso, as is your other one. Just wanted to mention that that very square is where I 'proposed' to my partner, on St Valentine's Day, 2005. Sadly, neither of us was in full leather at the time... :)
