Spikes of Belgium and France

The Belfries of Belgium and France are a group of 56 historical buildings designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, in recognition of an architectural manifestation of emerging civic independence from feudal and religious influences in historic Flanders and neighboring regions of the Duchy of Burgundy. Towers are always fascinating structures to me. They are footnotes of standing out. They are symbols of freedom and uncompromisingness. To me, it is almost a spritual experience to simply look up and admire them. This is why I think it is important to document these exceptional examples in the region.
