Mons Essentials

Mons features a dense collection of heritage sites, including the only Baroque belfry in Belgium and the Neolithic flint mines of Spiennes, both UNESCO-listed. The historic center is anchored by the Gothic Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church and the 15th-century Hôtel de Ville. Cultural highlights include the Mundaneum, a precursor to the internet designed to archive all human knowledge, and the Beaux-Arts Mons (BAM). The city’s history also encompasses significant World War I landmarks, such as the memorial to George Lawrence Price.
