Description:
The Gothic Town Hall is arguably Leuven's most well-known icon. Many people are intrigued by the 236 statues that populate the niches and by the adorned corbels that support them. In this richly illustrated trilingual guide - the first of its kind - the author examines the whole narrative of the statues: the historical context, the vicissitudes of the project, the location and identification of the statues, and the major restaurations.
