THE STORY

The Place des Martyrs in Brussels took its name from the fallen heroes who were buried there after the fight for Belgium’s independence. The square, with its elegant classical houses, was built in 1774-6, the creation of the architect Claude Fisco.

Together with the Place Royale, which dates from the same period, it marked the beginning of a classical period of town building in Brussels.The entire square was re-constructed in 2004 while keeping the old classical house façade. It’s Very centrally located in quiet square two-steps from the main shopping area in Brussels (city2 and Inno).
