An angel’s wing once tumbled from the sky onto a quiet Brussels street, leaving a mark that all but a few ever notice. Beyond the city’s glittering squares, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek pulses with secrets and storms, where ancient stones and bold art clash in vibrant defiance.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks the untold corners of Molenbeek. Move at your own pace and uncover stories hiding behind familiar facades—tales skipped by hurried travelers.

Why did the haunting bells of the Church of St. John the Baptist ring on a night no one can explain? What scandal brewed within the blood-red halls of the Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art? And what hidden message was carved into a stone bench outside the town hall?

Wind through alleyways where revolutionaries plotted and visionaries dreamed. Let your steps uncover the melody of shadows and light that haunts every brick.

Are you ready to follow the drop of the angel’s wing and begin your discovery?
