10 Monuments & Statues in Brussels That You Shouldn't Miss

August 9, 2021 Dorsey Hagwood

Unassuming Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars are packed year-round. Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Walk, rather than get snarled up in traffic, in the narrow streets.

Infantry Memorial

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This monument stands in tribute to the Belgian soldiers who fought and died in the two world wars. The monument takes the form of an obelisk, standing on a pedestal. At the front of the pedestal is a figure of winged Nike, spreading her wings protectively around soldiers a group of soldiers marching forward. Above this sculptural ensemble is the obelisk topped with the royal crown of Belgium. Just below the crown are four soldiers standing guard around it, symbolising the soldiers duty to protect the nation and crown.
