Statue - Brussels
Statue




Another statue, which I noticed behind Rue de La Virge None was very interesting. Two different soldiers going for a war, one is riding a horse but looks like less equipped but the other soldier looks like a modern soldier but riding a donkey.
I have been told by micas_pt that
" Looks like D. Quijote and Sancho Pança (this later is the portuguese version of name, ... Those caracters by Spanish writer Cervantes, ... D. Quijote fought windmills!). "

Béla Bartók - Brussels
Béla Bartók




Right behind my hotel this statue looked to me a bit neglected. I did not manage to catch the further details but it looked great.
It is Béla Bartók (1881-1945), who was a very famous musician and he was well known during his era for quality music

Place Poelaert - Brussels
Place Poelaert




Palais de Justice is remarkable and the square in front of it makes it more elegant. this square is called Place Poelaert and it is the largest square of Brussels. Most of the time it is packed with car parked alongside it. what a shame.

National Bank - Brussels
National Bank



Being the capital of Belgium, Brussels is the financial hub for the country and here is the national bank’s building of Belgium. Located on a quite road, the building was very elegant and the main entrance was smashing.
