The Grand Place (Grote Markt) market square in Brussels is a key tourist attraction. The center is surrounded by the town hall, Kings House and mansions built by prosperous Patrician guild families in the 14th century. Victor Hugo and Baudelaire are just two of the authors who have written about the center.
In 1695 French king Louis XIV destroyed market square but the guilds rebuilt.
Check out Wikipedia for
more information.

Today the square is a place for strolling, enjoying refreshments and concerts, or various special events hosted by the city throughout the year.

Photography by Eddy Van Leuven of Flanders, Belgium. Van Leuven has been taking photos since childhood, a hobby shared with his father, who gave him his first camera.
I am proud to display a bit of his work. I especially like his nature and architectural photos. And his people. Basically I think he's a genius.
