On Hendrik Conscienceplein, a piazza-like square in the midst of the old town, the Sint-Carolus Borromeo seems almost too big for the square. With Rubens’s signature as painter, architect and sculptor, the Jesuit church is a beautiful example of baroque architecture. Sit down at the fountain in front of Hendrik Conscience’s statue and Heritage Library and admire the façade of this monumental Rubens church.
