INTRODUCTION – Namur a capital city
Situated in the heart of Europe, at 60 km from Brussels, at the confluence of the Sambre and the Meuse, Namur has been the capital of the Walloon Region since 1986. Seat of the Walloon Parliament and Government, as well as ministerial cabinets and the regional administration, Namur has developed around an exceptional historic heritage, in particular its citadel, while keeping its rural nature.
The citadel of Namur was at first a center of command of an important county in the Middle Ages. After different sieges between the 15th and 19th century, it has been transformed in a big park in 1891. Nowadays, tourists are storming the place, witness of 2000 years of history. Guided tours and visit of the underground passages built to defend one biggest citadel in Europe are some of the activities offered.
