Review:
Mons Belfry is a prominent landmark in the city and is a must-see attraction for history and architecture enthusiasts. This impressive example of a baroque belfry was constructed between 1661 and 1672 to replace an earlier clock tower which stood on this spot. When completed, the belfry played an important part in everyday life in Mons, chiming to announce the sunrise, the start and end of the workday, curfews or fires. At the top of the 87m tower there is a carillon of 49 bells. From Tuesday to Sunday, visitors are invited to visit the small museum located inside the tower and to climb the 365-step circular staircase to enjoy wonderful views of the city.
