The National Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a colossal Art Deco church, among the largest in the world, whose dome panorama gives one of the best views over Brussels. The basilica itself is free to enter. It sits away from the centre in Koekelberg, and there's a fee to take the lifts up to the viewing gallery.
