Brussels Town Hall, east elevation

Brussels Town Hall is regarded as a masterpiece of Brabantine Gothic architecture and stands as the sole remaining medieval building at the Grand-Place. Its tower, which measures 96 metres in height, is crowned by a statue of Saint Michael. The structure comprises two asymmetrical wings that frame the tower, with two octagonal corner turrets at its corners. Each wing is characterised by arcades adorning its base, culminating in a balcony at the upper level. The main facade is richly decorated with numerous statues representing the local nobility.
