Review:
St. Bavo’s Cathedral was consecrated by Transmarus, bishop of Tournai and Noyon in 942, which dates the cathedral back to the chapel of Saint John the Baptist. Its imposing structure was consistently rebuilt from the 14th to the 16th century and it still remains relatively the same. For more than a thousand years, the cathedral has served as a place of Christian worship and prayer, and still provides Holy Mass. It also welcomes visitors to explore the magnificent structure and the various pieces of art and treasures that are housed within. Among the must-see sites is the chapel that features the famous painting The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb.
