Bruselas es una capital grande, donde se puede pasear por muchos rincones de una belleza extraordinaria, pero nada es comparable a la plaza del ayuntamiento. Esta foto, no es mas que uno de los rincones que mas me gustó.
Ya que mi memoria histórica no da para tanto, incluyo un pequeño resumen de lo encontrado en Wiquipedia.
La Grand-Place (Grote Markt en flamenco) es la plaza central de Bruselas. Mundialmente conocida por su riqueza ornamental, está rodeada por las casas de los gremios, el ayuntamiento y la Casa del Rey. Está considerada una de las más bellas plazas del mundo (entre otros, según Víctor Hugo). La Grand-Place de Bruselas fue inscrita en 1998 en la lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad de laUnesco.1
En agosto de 1695, durante la Guerra de la Liga de Augsburgo, la mayor parte de las casas, la mayoría todavía construidas en madera, fueron destruidas durante el bombardeo de Bruselas por las tropas francesas dirigidas por el mariscal de Villeroy. Solo la fachada y la torre del ayuntamiento, que servía de diana para la artillería, y algunos muros de piedra resistieron las bolas incendiarias. Las casas que rodeaban la plaza fueron reconstruidas en piedra por las distintos gremios. Entre ellas, la casa de la corporación de los cerveceros acoge hoy en día el Museo de los Cerveceros.
Si tienes la oportunidad, es uno de estos lugares que uno no puede morirse sin contemplarlo. Vale la pena.
