The confluence of the Meuse and Sambre defines the setting of Namur — the two rivers divide the historic centre from the steep hill crowned by its citadel and have long directed trade, travel and urban growth. Capital of Wallonia, Namur combines government institutions with a compact old town of pedestrian streets, cafés and riverside quays. The Citadel of Namur, repeatedly enlarged as military technology changed, remains the city’s dominant landmark above the water. Saint-Aubin Cathedral adds an imposing 18th-century neoclassical presence to the centre. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Wallonia connects regionally.
