The City Hall of Mechelen combines Gothic and Renaissance elements. The oldest part of the building dates back to the 14th century, while later sections were added in the 15th and 16th centuries, reflecting the predominant architectural styles of those periods.

Saint Rumbold's Cathedral

After contemplating the buildings on this esplanade, one of the most beautiful squares in Belgium, we will go to the cathedral of St. Rudolph. Inside we will contemplate various sacred paintings, among which are the canvases of artistic geniuses such as Van Dyck and Coxcie. We will continue contemplating majestic works in the church of St. John, where the Adoration of the Magi by Rubens is kept.

The next stop will take place in front of the Busleyden Museum, where we will contemplate this beautiful Flemish Renaissance building from the outside.

In front of this building we will learn the storey of the aunt of Emperor Charles V, who was actively involved in the education of her nephew.
