Belgium was established as a country relatively recently in 1830, yet many of its cities have deep historical roots dating back to ancient times.

Let’s take a look at 12 of the most prominent cities🧵

1. Brussels is the capital of Belgium and is renowned for its architecture, as well as for hosting several European Union institutions, including the Parliament. The city has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was originally a fortress before evolving into a cultural center. From the late 1600s onward, Brussels became a significant trade hub, famed for its tapestries. The Grand Place, lined with ornate guild houses, stands as a remnant of this powerful period.

2. Antwerp is technically the largest city in Belgium. Its rich history and wealth are due to its strategic location at the mouth of the Scheldt River. Though not as well preserved as some other Flemish cities, its prosperity is still visible in its architecture, particularly in the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Town Hall. Today, Antwerp is the industrial heart of Belgium, with hundreds of companies located in its bustling harbor.

Most Formidable Castles in Europe

1. Mont Saint-Michel, France 🇫🇷

Mont Saint-Michel never fell during the Hundred Years’ War due to its impregnable defenses and strategic location, which made it nearly impossible for invaders to besiege by land or by naval blockade.

The “Salt Fortress” is one of the largest fully preserved castles in Central Europe, spanning over 250 meters in length and 150 meters in width.
