A bit more about the Cathedral Square (Handschoenmarkt - Glove Market)

The Cathedral of our Lady is the largest Gothic church in the Low Countries. It was constructed between 1352 and about 1530. The completed spire is 123 m. high. The two other spires never reached their full height due to a lack of funds. Inside the Cathedral you’ll be stunned by the architectural wealth and its art treasures. The Descent from the Cross and The Raising of the Cross, two absolute masterpieces by Rubens, are most famous and very popular with most tourists.

On the square in front of the Cathedral (Handschoenmarkt - Glove Market), you can spot a well famous for its fantastic frame by blacksmith and painter Quentin Matsijs. On top of the fence is a sculpture of Brabo who’s about to throw away the giant Antigone’s hand.
