UK and Europe Roadtrip - Bruges

Bruges' Basilica of the Holy Blood is a Roman Catholic minor basilica that was originally built in the 1100s as a chapel for the residence of the Count of Flanders. It is said to house a revered relic of the Holy Blood brought from the Holy Land by the count. You would never guess that this amazingly decorative facade actually leads to a staircase that connects two underlying chapels. Select the photo below to see more of this area.
