Cathedral of St. Paul - a pearl of European architecture - a Gothic temple of the 16th century with a Baroque interior, located on the square where the cattle market of Antwerp was once located. At the western facade of the temple, a sculptural group "Golgotha" was erected, consisting of 63 statues of saints, angels, prophets and patriarchs. This artificial hill, depicting a fragment of the Mount of Olives, is crowned with a crucifix, and the grotto below symbolizes the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The main altar of the cathedral was made of marble in 1670 and is decorated with the painting "Descent from the Cross", the second altar is decorated with the painting "Madonna of Rosario", by Caravaggio in 1607.
Twelve marble columns of the cathedral carry the statues of the apostles, made in 1700-1720. More than 200 sculptures and more than 50 paintings were used in the interior of the cathedral, including 15 paintings painted by artists of the Rubens school in the 17th century.
The organ of the cathedral, created in 1658 by Nicholas van Heigen, is considered one of the most beautiful in Western Europe.
