St Salvator Cathedral, Bruges
Bruges' Stunning St Salvator.
For both a spiritual and sumptuous Belgian break, the St Salvator Cathedral in Bruges is sure not to disappoint.
Visitors of all backgrounds are sure to find something eye-catching in this beautiful church, which dates back to the 9th century, as well as having the chance to take in the place of worship's treasury.
Tourists will be able to gaze in wonder at the splendid structure built in the Schelde gothic style featuring a pulpit in the style of Louis XVI.
Meanwhile, there is also the opportunity to take in a variety of pieces of art which were salvaged from the St Salvator's destroyed predecessor, the St Donatius Cathedral.
Works on display include 18th century tapestries and paintings from the Flemish school period of art, in addition to murals dating from the end of the 13th century to 1576.
And with the cathedral open seven days a week, taking in its beautiful sights while holidaying in Bruges could not be easier.
For a further sense of culture in the Belgian city, tourists may wish to visit the Groeninge Museum, which encompasses more than six centuries' worth of European art.
