The Best Churches

Sint-Baafskathedraal (St. Bavo's Cathedral): Notable enough in its own right, even if its combination Romanesque, Gothic, and baroque does lack a certain fluidity of form, St. Bavo's principal glory lies inside. Jan van Eyck's 24-panel altarpiece The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (1432), one of the most significant works in the history of art, is here for all to view, for a modest fee.
