Ravenstein

The neo-Gothic façade of the former Delacre pharmacy (1900) fits perfectly with the 16th-century building, which marks the beginning of the Rue Ravenstein - Ravensteinstraat. The staircase leading to the Rue Terarken - Terarkenstraat (bottom of the former Court of Cleves-Ravenstein from the 15th century) recalls the medieval topography of this quarter. The current Rue Ravenstein runs over the former Coperbeek valley via a bridge that is now part of the Palace of Fine Arts (1929). Bozar and Cinematek (Film Museum) are located here. The Belliard staircase (1923) is located on the site of a tower of the first city walls (13th century). The Rue Royale follows the line of this wall.
