Architecture
The
architecture in Brussels is diverse
(skyscrapers, churches and other landmarks), and spans from the medieval
constructions on the Grand Place to the postmodern buildings of the EU
institutions.
Main
attractions include the Grand Place, since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Gothic town hall in the old centre, the St.
Michael and Gudula Cathedral and the Laken Castle with its large greenhouses.
Another famous landmark is the Royal Palace.
The Atomium
is a symbolic 103-metre (338 ft) tall structure that was built for the 1958
World’s Fair. It consists of
nine steel spheres connected by tubes, and forms a model of an iron crystal
(specifically, a unit cell). The architect A. Waterkeyn devoted the building to
science. Next to the Atomium is the Mini-Europe park with 1:25 scale maquettes
of famous buildings from across Europe.
The
Manneken Pies, a fountain
containing a bronze sculpture of a urinating youth, is a tourist attraction and
symbol of the city.
Other landmarks include the Cinquantenaire park with its triumphal arch and nearby museums, the
Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Brussels Stock Exchange, the Palace of Justice
and the buildings of EU institutions in the European Quarter.
