Basilica of Agatha and Barbara

Our second day trip on our 2021 vacation. First we visited the Oudenbosch Basilica named after Agatha of Sicily and Barbara of Nicomedia, two christian martyrs from the third century, built between 1867 & 1880.. Its nave and interior were modelled after St. Peter's Basilica, while the facade is a replica of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, both located in Rome.

The first extras is the same Basilica as seen from aside, with the dome. This is the view you get when you drive into town. Such an unusual sight in the Netherlands! It felt like visiting Italy. Especially when there is an extra square with white buildings and another church with a dome. 

Then we visited fortress de Roovere for the Moses-bridge, a bridge which divides the water into two separate waters. 

Last we went to Bergen op Zoom, where we visited the old town center. See the various extras.
