Brussels City Hall is one of the most striking buildings in the Grand Place in Brussels. This Gothic building is a landmark in Brussels. The building was built in two phases, and the larger left half was built in 1402. When the right half was built in 1455, the tower and the 96-meter-tall minaret were built by PhilipeleBon. This is a typical ancient Flemish Gothic building, grandiose, ethereal and striking. The town hall building was built in 1402. The tower above it is about 91 meters high. The top of the tower is shaped with a statue of the sacred Michelle of Brussels, 5 meters high. The main entrance of the city hall is not in the middle, and the hall tower is also slightly side. In fact, the reason why the hall tower and the gate are not in the middle is because the entire building was built in three different periods, so the scale appeared. The various sculptures on the outer wall are really charming. It is said that the interior decoration is very beautiful, the pattern drawn on the ceiling is wonderful, the railing pattern is finely carved, and the snow-white marble staircase is like a silver snake. The corridor of the city hall is full of murals. Among the many portraits are the Belgian monarchs, the kings of Spain, the Netherlands, France and other countries that have ruled Brussels, and the sweeping continent of Europe. The portrait of Napoleon.
