Architectural Landmarks in Antwerp

Antwerp, a historic city in northern Belgium, has long been a center of trade, art, and architectural innovation. Flourishing in the 16th century as one of Europe's major ports, the city retains a rich urban fabric that blends Gothic, Renaissance, and modern architecture. Among its architectural landmarks is the Cathedral of Our Lady, a masterpiece of Brabantine Gothic architecture whose soaring spire has dominated Antwerp's skyline since the 16th century and houses works by Peter Paul Rubens. A contemporary landmarks is the Port House by Zaha Hadid, a dramatic glass volume perched atop a former fire station, symbolizing the city's forward-looking maritime industry.
