The Belfry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands proudly in the background with its intricate Gothic architecture and ornate carvings. Its tall, tapering structure reaches towards the sky, topped by a golden weathervane and a collection of bells that have rung out the hours for centuries. In the foreground, the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, exudes an air of grandeur and elegance.
