Michelangelo's works from outside Italy in 100 meters of red bricks

🔷🔹The Church of Our Lady in Bruges is tall enough, with a 100-meter red brick tower. It is really a mixture of faith and showing off skills and wealth. 🔱Style: Gothic architectural style. The towering bell tower is its distinctive feature. It is the second tallest brick tower in the world, 115.6 meters high. 🔱Structure: The flying walls of the exterior walls display the Gothic style, with spires, flying buttresses, sculpture decorations and huge arch designs, giving it a tall and solemn appearance. 🔱Material: Made of red brick, it is the tallest brick ⛪️ church on the European continent 🔱Decoration: The interior is exquisitely decorated with stained glass windows. Under the sunlight, the light is colorful and full of dreamy and sacred atmosphere; there are a large number of meticulous sculptures and decorations of religious figures on the main altar, side halls and walls. 🔷🔹🇧🇪The reflection of Belgian history, to be precise, the historical reflection of the city of Bruges Port. 🔱Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, it is a reflection of Bruges’ strength during its golden heyday. 🔱The bell tower collapsed in the mid-12th century and was rebuilt in the 13th and 14th centuries. A red spire was added in the 15th century. It was rebuilt again in the 19th century and was fully restored and maintained in 2015. 🔱It was once the meeting place of the Knights of the Golden Fleece. Game lovers can let their imaginations run wild. 🔷🔹The most famous exhibit is said to be 🇮🇹Michelangelo’s only work outside of Italy. 🔱Michelangelo's sculpture "Virgin and Child": also known as the "Virgin and Child of Bruges", it was the only sculpture that left Italy when Michelangelo was alive, and it is also the treasure of the church. 🇧🇪Belgium recommends going to the Church of the Holy Blood and the Bell Tower of Bruges. In fact, staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel Bruges and the Novotel Bruges Center is okay, and the price/performance ratio is okay. 🔱Check in to beautiful destinations around the world🔱
