Enter Brussels’ world famous Grand Place and your eyes will immediately fall upon this grandiose building, which serves as the focal point of the square. This spectacular town hall was built by two architects: the left wing by Jacques van Thienen in 1402, the right wing by Jean van Ruysbroeck in 1445-1450. Uniting these efforts is a gothic tower, rising 97m, crowned by a statue of St. Michael, the patron saint of Brussels. Inside are a host of rooms housing art from the 17th and 18th centuries. This building is most beautiful by evening, when artificial light adds a nearly magical dimension to this wonderful town hall.
