Art Deco Church |
Parvis de la Basilique 1 Brussels 1081 Belgium +32 (0) 2 425 88 22 http://www.bruxelles-tourisme.... |
The construction of the church started in 1905 under the reign of King Leopold II, but was put on hold during the two world wars and was not completed until 1970. The church is the fifth largest in the world. The huge structure (about 100 feet tall) is made of bricks and terracotta, with two towers on each side of the entrance. As Paris Basilica, it is devoted to the Sacred Heart. Access on the first floor is free of charge, but it is highly recommended to pay the EUR 2 fee to take the elevator to the dome, where you will enjoy one-of-a-kind panorama of the city and its outskirts.
