General information about the Basilica of the Holy Blood - St. Basil's Chapel
Basilica of the Holy Blood - St. Basil’s Chapel, also known as the Basilica of the Holy Blood, is a basilica located on the Burg in Bruges, right next to City Hall. A relic — the blood of Jesus Christ—is venerated there. A grand staircase, known as the “Staircase,” leads up to the place of veneration.
Downstairs, there is also the very intimate St. Basil’s Chapel (1139–1149). It is the only fully preserved Romanesque chapel in West Flanders. It can be accessed through a small, side-facing entrance on the left side of the ground floor of the Staircase. Well worth a visit!
