Gudula26 - The cathedral, a religious and political building?

The Cathedral of Saints Michael and Gudula is the main place of worship for the Catholic religion in Brussels, both historically and today. But it is much more than that. Along with the Town Hall, it is undoubtedly the city’s most iconic historical monument. From the origins of Brussels in the 18th century, religion and politics were inseparable, and this is reflected both in the construction and use of the building.
