BELGIUM: The Ancient Buildings That Make You Feel Small

BELGIUM: The Ancient Buildings That Make You Feel Small Never trust a structure built entirely to demand your insignificance. Looking up at a stone ceiling soaring hundreds of feet above, you feel completely insignificant. However, that scale is fraught with secrets. Why do citizens curse a colossal courthouse? Why rebuild a cathedral directly beneath the exact rock cliff that previously crushed it? Why does a pristine medieval hall conceal a recent past of absolute rubble? These buildings make us look up. Their histories ask us to look closer: whose ambition built them, and what did it cost? This is Belgium.
