Dinant


The giant Dinant letters are a popular, colorful art installation on the riverfront along the Meuse River. Installed on the waterfront near the Charles de Gaulle Bridge,the bridge with the famous saxophone statues, they serve as a perfect, highly photogenic spot for tourists with the Citadel and Collegiate Church in the background. Each of the six letters corresponds to a distinct color, with blue representing the official color of the city.

Thank you Maria!

Dinant


Dinant is a city in Belgium’s Walloon Region. It’s on the banks of the Meuse River and backed by steep cliffs. Perched on an outcrop above town is the centuries-old fortified Citadel. It's now a museum with sweeping views. Below it is the Gothic Collegiate Church of Our Lady. Famous for its distinct pear-shaped bell tower, it features soaring vaulted ceilings, a Romanesque baptismal font, and Europe's largest stained-glass window.

Belfry of Aalst


The Belfry of Aalst is one of the oldest belfries in the Low Countries. It is part of a complex that includes the former aldermen's house and a small late-Gothic annex called the Gebiedshuisje. In 1999, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France. The tower houses a carillon with 52 bells, which are regularly played by the city carillonneur.
