The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula is the main Catholic church of Brussels, dedicated to the city\u2019s patron saints, the archangel Michael and Saint Gudula. It stands on the Treurenberg hill between the Upper and Lower Town, and its two 64-metre towers are among the landmarks of the city skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present Gothic church was begun in 1226 on the site of an 11th-century Romanesque church and completed in 1519. The west front with its twin towers, attributed to Jan van Ruysbroeck, court architect of Philip the Good, was built in about 1470\u20131485. The church became a cathedral only in 1962, when it was made co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el interior, la nave est\u00e1 flanqueada por las estatuas de los doce ap\u00f3stoles, y el p\u00falpito barroco de roble de Hendrik Frans Verbruggen (1699) muestra la expulsi\u00f3n de Ad\u00e1n y Eva del Para\u00edso. Entre las vidrieras del siglo XVI destaca la dise\u00f1ada por Bernard van Orley en 1537, con el emperador Carlos V e Isabel de Portugal, y el \u00f3rgano Grenzing de 2000 tiene unos 4300 tubos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cathedral hosts the great ceremonies of the Belgian state, such as the 1999 wedding of Prince Philippe and Mathilde, now King and Queen. Entry is free: it is open Monday to Friday 8:00\u201318:00, Saturday 8:00\u201317:00 and Sunday 13:00\u201318:00, but not during services. The treasury (\u20ac3), the Romanesque remains (\u20ac2) and, by appointment, the 11th-century crypt (\u20ac4) cost extra, and the towers can be climbed on booked tours from March to October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
