Grand Place of Brussels

1 Jun 2014

The Grand Place is a Unesco World Heritae site. Construction on it began in the 15th Century. First of all, some market halls and trade guild houses, then a town hall to establish the authority of this trading center. Bombarded for 3 days by the French army in 1695, it was almost completely destroyed but, like a phoenix, it went on to rise from the ashes in 3 years. That’s why four styles stand alongside each other or sometimes even overlap: it’s a wonderful hotch-potch of Gothic, opulent baroque, neoclassical and neogotic.
