National Basilica of the Sacred Heart

The National Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic basilica on the Koekelberg plateau at the head of Elisabeth Park, the largest church in Belgium. Leopold II laid the first stone in 1905, but the two world wars delayed building until 1970. The Art Deco design by Albert Van Huffel has a green copper dome 89 metres high with a panorama gallery.
