The Brussels City Hall is on the right side of the Grand Place, unique and majestic.
This is a typical ancient Flandish Gothic building, magnificent in shape, ethereal and towering, and eye-catching. The Town Hall building was built in 1402 and is topped by a 5-metre-high statue of Michel, the patron saint of the city of Brussels.
The gate of the town hall is not in the middle, and the hall tower is slightly on the side. In fact, the reason why the hall tower and the gate are not in the center is because the entire building was built in 3 different periods, so this pattern and scale appeared.
It is said that the town hall is very beautifully decorated, the ceiling is painted with wonderful patterns, the balustrade pattern is intricately carved, and the snow white marble staircase snakes up like a silver snake. The corridors are filled with colorful murals. Among the many huge portraits are portraits of Belgian monarchs, as well as portraits of kings of Spain, the Netherlands, France and other countries that once ruled Brussels, and the portrait of Napoleon, who swept across the European continent and was known as the "Hero of the First Age". It's just that we didn't get a chance to go inside and visit.
