Description

Grand-Place A web of narrow cobbled streets suddenly opens out into the vast Grand-Place. The asymmetrical Hotel de Ville, built in the 15th century, dominates. Its 96m (315ft) spire is topped with a gilded copper statue of St Michael. Opposite the Town Hall is the Maison du Roi, commissioned in 1515 and faithfully rebuilt in the 1890s. Sometime pied-a-terre of the Hapsburg monarchy, the building now hosts the Musee de la Ville de Bruxelles whose small collection includes tapestries and altarpieces.
