Brussels City Hall - Great Attractions (Brussels, Belgium)
  • 13 years ago
Take a tour of Brussels City Hall in Brussels, Belgium – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. The kind of city hall that a city has says a lot about what kind of city it is. The city hall of Brussels, Belgium reflects the city's reputation for beauty, history, and culture. This ornate, Gothic building was originally constructed in the early years of the fifteenth century. The soaring, airy tower, which is over 300 feet tall, was an added feature that replaced the belfry about fifty years after the initial construction. The city hall has an asymmetrical design that is the result of differing stages of construction of the building. Brussels' mayor still has his office here, following several renovation projects in the 20th century.
