Turnhout - Belgium

Luzia has been to Europe a few months ago and now she's about to return, this time to visit Portugal. I hope I can meet her again. 
Turnhout is a city located in the Flemish province of Antwerp in Belgium. The beguinage was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998.

Thought to have been founded in the 13C and rebuilt in the 16C and 17C, this is a charming complex, with houses set around a small triangular square overlooked by a Baroque church. A museum devoted to the begijnhof is housed at no 56. - in: https://travelguide.michelin.com/europe/belgium/flanders/antwerp/turnhout/ancien-beguinage-de-turnhout
