The impressive statue of Ambiorix in the town’s main square, in front of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwebasliek, is (in my opinion) a must see in Tongeren, the oldest town in Belgium. We traveled there on Sunday morning, so we were lucky to enjoy the magnificent statue of this great hero as well as the lovely Sunday market.
