Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula is one of the main Brussels landmarks. Many tourists come to admire its beauty as well as the magnificent interior which includes many artifacts.
We decided to share some of the lovely photos of the Cathedral, posted on Instagram by tourists from all around the world. In order to better understand the urban transformations, we shared also some of the historical photos from the Instagram account Brussels Urbanografix which depicts the Cathedral and its environment in the period from 100 years ago…
