<div><font face="Times">ANT 2023 will be held in Leuven, Belgium. Leuven
is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is
located about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th
largest municipality in Belgium
and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to the Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low
Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence. The
related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the largest
hospitals of Europe. The city is also known for being the headquarters
of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and one of the five
largest consumer-goods companies in the world.</font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="Times">Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known
Gothic town halls worldwide and Leuven's pride and joy. It took three
architects and thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame'
features 236 statues, which were only
added to the façade after 1850. There are 220 men and 16 women in
total. On the bottom floor are famous Leuven scientists, artists and
historical figures, dressed in Burgundian garb. The first floor is
reserved for the patron saints of the various parishes
of Leuven. Above them the façade is adorned by the counts and dukes of
Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical figures.</font></div>
