ST JAMES’S CHURCH – visit Peter Paul Rubens’s tomb

St James’s church  in Antwerp is still the starting point for pilgrims journeying to Santiago de Compostela.

This Late Gothic collegiate church has a particularly splendid baroque interior  – a feast of marble – and contains a vast art collection by painters  such as Rubens, Jordaens, Van Balen …

It also contains the  burial  chapel of Peter ¨Paul Rubens. His parish church  (Rubens’s  house is at a stone’s throw) still radiates the grandeur of a fashionable neighbourhood with well-off citizens;  to-day it’s a student’s district.

Recently fabulous 16th century frescoes were discovered in the church.
