Belgian cathedrals

May 31st, 2009 by ilyani | No Comments | Filed in Belgium

I wanted to feature either one of these cathedrals in my previous Belgium entry.. but couldn’t really decide which so I didn’t put both. They’re from different cities in Belgium but what the heck, I can put them together in this post :) Sometimes I realized myself that my selection of cards to put in this blog is rather varied and easygoing, though I wanted to put a few cards with mutual theme, or place, or set, but that’s not THAT necessary actually.

The Saint Bavo Cathedral of Ghent was constructed during the 14th through 16th centuries. I love the color and light in this postcard.

And this is the Notre-Dame (Cathedral of Our Lady).. it’s a bit confusing me coz I realized that I have featured postcard of a Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris before.. then again there are actually several cathedrals with this name in other countries like Canada and Luxembourg. Well this Belgian Notre-Dame is located in Antwerpen, the second largest city of Belgium after Brussels. This cathedral was built in the 14th and 15th century.

I was searching a proper postcard to go along with below Belgium map card.. and I wanted a general Belgium postcard, rather than a certain Belgian city. Somehow I noticed this card has “Regards from Belgium” written on it, so I chose this postcard!! :D Well, this particular photograph shows a neat door of some house or building somewhere in Belgium perhaps, comes with the title “Dialogue de sourds” (Dialogue of the deaf). Hmm.. deep as it sounds.

This is the Belgium map! As you can see, Belgium is bordered by the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France.. so the Belgian people speak Dutch, French or German according to which country they live closer to :)
