Shahbaz Salehi
★★★★★8 months agoApparently this is a church and palace. We walked in from the front doors and it was a church next to the palace. We could not find the entrance to the palace. The church is free and very beautiful inside of it.

★★★★★9 months agoA very unique statue of Godfrey of Bouillon in the middle of what used to be Brussels old market. It's right in front of the court and close to the royal palace and some museums.
