A Weekend Walk in the Streets of Antwerp

Hello friends. Today I want to talk to you about a walk I took in Antwerp. We started our walk from the Central train station. If you search for the most beautiful train stations on the internet, the Antwerp station will definitely be on that list. This is really an eyecatching place and they don't call it the cathedral of the railroads for nothing. The building reflects an eclectic style containing Baroque and Neo Renaissance elements. It has an utterly fantastic dome reaching a height of exactly fifty-three meters. What is interesting is that this dome is made of concrete. Considering it was built at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this was a rather bold architectural solution. Overall it must be said that this station is bold in every sense. Because it combines that highly ornate and magnificent aesthetic with technical engineering structures such as bolts and switches on the platform.
