St. Mary's Church in Bruges - details and images

The reason why tourists visit this church because she was in "Virgin" Michelangelo's tombs of Mary of Burgundy and his father Charles and the mighty.

Duchess Maria of Burgundy was the queen of the Netherlands in the last part of the fifteenth century. "Virgin" is the only Michelangelo's statue of the great sculptor who left Italy during his lifetime. Although it was originally built for the cathedral of Sienna, two merchants from Bruges in Belgium brought the statue after their trip to Italy in 1506.
