A ntwerp was once the mighty cog that turned world trade. Sitting at the mouth of the River Scheldt, it dominated international 16th-century markets in sugar, spices and textiles. Today it is still an improbably cosmopolitan place for its size, but is better known for its international diamond business and, less alluringly, as the port that sucks in more cocaine than any other. It recently overtook London as cocaine capital of Europe. The city was also famed for its great Flemish art, from the huge religious panels of Rubens to the royal portraits by Van Dyck and all those detailed still life tables, laden with silverware, meat and fruit. In the past few years, the run of hit historical novels and dramas set in the dimly lit, 17th-century luxury of the Low Countries Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg has raised its profile, too. Mysterious romances, including The Girl with the Pearl Earring , Tulip Fever and The Miniaturist , have all helped to remind us how intriguing this moneyed part of northern Europe once was. Next weekend June , Antwerp is to seize upon just one word to help it celebrate its creative history: baroque. Most visitors head for the famous Grote Markt — the main square in the old quarter — but I was just as bowled over by the carefully restored homes of a former 17th-century mayor, Nicolaas Rockox, and his neighbour, the painter Frans Snijders , both brimming with baroque self-confidence. Snijders was well known for painting snarling dogs, dead game carcasses and exotic birds.

For more than a thousand years in Antwerp, people have honoured and revered Our Blessed Lady, who is the patroness of both the city and the Cathedral. From the 9th through the 12th Century, where the cathedral now stands, there was a small Chapel of Our Lady, which in acquired the status of parish church. In the course of the 12th Century, a larger, Romanesque church replaced it. From wall and foundation remains, it appears that it was 80 meters long and 42 meters wide and that it must have looked more or less like the St. Maria im Kapitol in Cologne. In , the construction was begun for a new church, which would become the largest Gothic church in the Netherlands. Originally it was the intention to provide the church with two towers of equal height. In , after nearly years, the Church of Our Lady was completed. After the new church was gutted by fire in large part during the night of the th of October , all energy and means went to its reconstruction. The completion of the second tower was delayed, which in fact led to its abandonment.
