Mons : The Belfry
The Mons Belfry, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999, is an emblematic structure on the Mons landscape. The only baroque belfry in Belgium, it is a remarkable architectural statement. Set against a superb backdrop, housed within is a visitor centre dedicated to its history and its standing as a UNESCO site. The permanent exhibition is brought to life through the innovative multimedia displays, "the windows of time", but also through objects from collections of the Mons region. As a high point of Mons, a visit also offers an unmissable view of the city.
