Founded in the 13th century, Brussels Plaza is called "the most beautiful square in the world" by Hugo Dawenhao. The square is the center of the capital Brussels. It is surrounded by the city hall of Brussels. There are also famous buildings such as the 17th century professional guild, the Duke's residence, the medieval stone buildings, the Palace of Louis XIV and so on. The Brussels Museum of Urban History was rebuilt from 1873 to 1895 in the original gorgeous style of the 16th century. These houses are often named after their favorite objects according to their decorative features. Roof 7 is a fox and there is a Golden Fox above the entrance. Victor Hugo lives in Pigeon 26. Golden Tree No. 10 is a statue of a knight. No. 5 of the Sagittarius Guild is a wolf. Above the door is a picture of the wolf feeding Romlus and Les. The top of the gable is a symbol of Brussels's regeneration - "a giant golden phoenix. The bronze sculpture of the angel Chang Sheng Michael, who stepped on Satan five meters high on the top of the tower, was used as a wind pointer. More than 100 statues were on the arch, all of which were reproduced in the original works of the 19th century. The entrance of the city hall is not in the middle, and the tower is slightly off the side. In fact, the reason why the hall tower and the gate are not in the center is that the whole building was built in three different periods, so the present scale appears. In addition, the square is surrounded by various professional guild sites in the 17th century, Duke residences, medieval stone buildings, Louis XIV palace and other well-known buildings. On the side of Golden Tree No. 10 is a five-storey building, the famous Swan Cafe. Many people will sit here for a while and have a drink. It used to be the place where Marx and Engels lived and worked. It is adjacent to the famous city hall. It is named for a flying white swan on the door. In February 1845, Marx moved from Paris to Brussels to live here. Live. In April of the same year, Engels also moved from Paris. Since then, Swan Cafe has become an important place for them to co-create the Communist Communications Commission and the German Workers'Association. During this period, Marx wrote famous works such as "Philosophical Poverty" and "Manifesto". Now Swan Cafe is also called Swan Restaurant. Victor Hugo's apartment is on the left of Swan Restaurant. There is also a nearby building, formerly the Palace of Louis XIV in France, which is now a museum.

    Not to mention the 360 degree magnificent view when looking over the square, but while heading for the Grand Place, you can see only the pier ahead of the alley, although you can't see the whole picture, and you can see him waiting with an overwhelming presence. Also It was a picture that made me want to hold it on the camera. There are quite a lot of tourists during the day, so if you want to take pictures or enjoy the scenery quietly, early in the morning is recommended.
