This is the basilica of Saint Servatius in the city of Maastricht. The photos are taken from in the cloisters. This amazing church is also a museum. I wanted to share some impressions of the building and its history with you.
Rather than going through the history of this Saint and his church, I will direct you to a website which is really enjoyable to search. It has many great pages of history and photos. It has a fun page of games for children too. Enjoy: http://www.sintservaas.nl/indexf.html .
This is the actual cyrpt of Saint Servatius who died in 384AD where the basilica was built over.
I love this floor as it looks like a patchwork quilt.
Painted ceilings and stained glass windows of the basilica are works of art in themselves.
