BASILIQUE DE KOEKELBERG - BRUSSELS

This Basilica is the fifth largest church in the world and the largest Art Deco edifice ever built. It contains the Musée des Sœurs Noires (museum of the black sisters)  and the Musée d'Art moderne religieux (museum of religious modern art).




It is the only cathedral I ever saw which also houses a restaurant with a theater and organizes expositions.



The Basilica sits on a hill and you can see from there whole Brussels.



Sitting on the steps we overlooked whole Brussels.

Here it goes to the restaurant and theatre

The restaurant and behind the theatre stage with the red curtain.

I haven't been there yet, but friends of mine have and they said it is really worthwhile to see a theatre play and the restaurant is very good too.

  1. It’s beautiful! Hope you get to go back soon, see a play, eat in that restaurant ...I remember when we used to be able to do those things ...three months ago wasn’t it? (Seems like a lifetime!)
