During my first week in Belgium, visiting friends and family, three cousins and brother-in-law decided to visit Namur and tour the Citadel. Built during the Roman times and rebuilt a number of times, it was of major strategic importance due to its location at the confluence of the Sambre and the Meuse.
Peak carefully towards the lower left side of the picture above
and you will see the two rivers merge.
A cable car takes visitors to the 570ft high peak in about 10 minutes.
Just a hill you will say. Sure enough but still offering splendid views of the city all around.
Enjoying the views.
Jan Fabre "Searching for Utopia" 2003
Moseyed our way down, and about midway,
encountered this large sculpture of a boy riding a turtle as if ready to take flight.
Rewarding day exploring a Belgian city I had never visited; more importantly, what a precious opportunity to spend time with my cousins and brother-in-law.
