When a friend visits you in a place she has never been, what do you show? My friend having worries, I decided to show her my favorite chapel: it is where the working girls would go to confession and there always is a nice quite and peaceful atmosphere. It is an beautiful baroque chapel, dedicated to Mary and St Antony. As you can tell many do light a candle to lighten their load, adding to the warmth and meditative ambiente.
Then we walked and visited many enclosed city gardens and small squares and even the botanical garden, smack in the middle of town. The whole city is also filled with hundred of Madonnas.
And yes, Antwerp is a playful city as one can tell by the the lion.My Italian friend visited because of a European swimming competition. Her son won two gold medals and a bronze one. The Italian team won the relay swimming.
