The Cathedral of Our Lady of Antwerp, one of the greatest buildings in Antwerp, is also the highest Gothic church in Belgium. Construction began at the end of 1352, and it was not until 1521 that the entire project was completed. It is very shocking that the church took more than a century and was built by countless construction workers. The entire architectural style is quite consistent. The most intriguing part of the church is the tower, which is 123 meters high and the fine decoration on the tower is breathtaking. The row of 47 bells on the tower was built by three craftsmen and it took a century to complete. It takes 6 Euros to enter the tour. This 6 Euro is definitely worth it. The first thing that comes into view is the white columns and domes. The sunlight is scattered from the mosaic glass windows on both sides. This scene is very common, but you look closely. You will find a large number of paintings for visitors to visit, and there are many masterpieces of Rubens, especially in the middle of the fair, a few masterpieces, such as the rise of Jesus, where Jesus is off the shelf. The painting in the center of the main altar is Rubenss other work, The Assumption of the Virgin. In order to select a suitable author for the Assumption of the Altar, the Cathedral of the Notre-Dame held a competition for the creation of altarpieces for the main altar in 1611. Rubens stood out among the many competitors.
