Tourism in Belgium

Among the provinces of Belgium we emphasized two: Antwerp, that was part of the Spanish Netherlands at the beginning of the Renaissance; and Hainault, in the Walloon region, whose capital is the city of Mons. The port of Antwerp was then the most important commercial center of the north of Europe. Abraham Ortelius published in Antwerp the first copper maps. Hainault is one of the provinces with richer history: during the Roman Empire Gallia Belgium was called, was incorporated to the dominion of the Carolingia dynasty during the Average Age, it was disputed by French Spaniards and, and finally scene of battles in the two World wars.
