  The Holy Blood
by Nathalie_B
 
 

Favorite thing: I'm not a believer so to me it was just another tourist attraction, for many people, however, it is a very important pace to visit.
The tiny perfum bottle which was made in Constantinople (nowadays Istanbul) contains the blood of Jesus, which arrived to Brugge in 13th century.
Besides the Holy Blood the chapel itself is very impressive and definitely worth a visit. The entrance is freem unless you want to get closer to the presious treasure.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
