Top 10 Fountains in Brussels, Belgium
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.

The Fontaine Anspach is a fountain in the north west of Brussels at one end of a large rectangular pool, in Quai aux Briques on Rue Locquenghien. The centrepiece of the fountain is an obelisk, surrounded by fantastical dragon figures, nymphs and topped with Saint Michael casting out poor Lucifer in a scene from war in heaven. Near the base of the obelisk are two larger than life size female sculptures. One of the women represents the municipal magistracy, holding a rudder in one hand and a snake on the other, a symbol of prudence. The other female sculpture represents wisdom and justice, with an owl, symbol of wisdom associated with Athena and set of scales her feet. It’s a little off the main tourist circuit, but is a major landmark in Brussels and worth a look
