The National Basilica of the Sacred Heart, located in Koekelberg Brussels, is a breathtaking architectural wonder. Built between 1905 and 1969, it is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Belgium and has been an important symbol of faith, hope and devotion for more than a century. It stands over 295 feet tall and its impressive dome rises to a height of 415 feet, making it the fifth tallest religious building in the world. The two massive bell towers reach up to a staggering 433 feet above ground level, adding to the basilica's majestic silhouette against the skyline.
Inside this grandiose structure lies a stunning interior with richly decorated marble floors and walls, intricate stained glass windows depicting Biblical scenes, lavish columns adorned with intricate carvings and several breathtaking chapels dedicated to particular saints or events from Christian history. There are also various sculptures throughout including a magnificent Pietà in the entrance hall which was carved by renowned Belgian artist Antoine Dewasme. In addition to these awe-inspiring features, visitors can explore several intricately decorated side chapels as well as view many priceless works of art that have been donated by individuals over the centuries.
Every year thousands of people visit this beautiful building to take part in Masses and special ceremonies such as baptisms or marriages or simply to appreciate its beauty from within or from afar. Despite being damaged during World War II by Allied bombings leaving its towers collapsed, it has been lovingly restored to its former glory through meticulous efforts over the years. Today it serves as an important place of pilgrimage and spiritual reflection for both locals and visitors alike.
