This is the central square of Brussels and is considered as one of the most beautiful squares in the world. There are some top places that you should visit at the Grand-Place or Central Square in Belgium.
The Church of St. Bartholomew is a historical building in Liège, Belgium that is found outside the city walls. It was built in coal sandstone in the late 11th-century and was founded by Godescalc de Morialmé. The Church of St. Bartholomew was one of the original seven collegiate churches of Liège that also included the Churches of St. Peter, St. Paul, St. John, St. Denis, St. Martin, and the Holy Cross, and until the Liège Revolution of 1789 it collectively comprised the “secondary clergy” in the First Estate of the Prince-bishopric of Liège. The Church of St. Bartholomew had a wooden bell-tower rising in the center of the building, but it was destroyed in 1761. It still contains many treasures today.
