Northern Europe - Bruges, Belgium

< <  Previous Picture        Next Picture  > >

Inside the Church of the Holy Blood in Bruges.  This basilica has 2 chapels.  The lower one was built in the 12th century and is dark and somber and very Romanesque.  The upper chapel was destroyed twice--once by Protestant iconoclasts in the 16th century and again by French Republicans in the 18th--but was rebuilt both times.  The upper chapel is lavishly embellished and is accessible via a wide staircase.
