🇧🇪 Antwerp City Hall | A Renaissance Masterpiece

✨ Why Architects & History Nerds Swoon Built in 1561, this Flemish Renaissance gem blends Italian flair with Nordic drama—think steep roofs + soaring obelisks. Frescoes inside spill Antwerp’s mercantile glory (spoiler: diamonds + painters). That Brabo statue out front? Legend says he threw a giant’s hand into the Scheldt River. 🏛️ Design Nerd Notes Contrast: Vertical Gothic aspiration vs. horizontal Italian harmony. Secret: The unbuilt twin tower—had it existed, Antwerp’s skyline would’ve doubled its drama. #ArchitectureLover #WorldHeritage #RenaissanceVibes
