The Royal Palace of Belgium

The Royal Palace of Belgium

The Royal Palace of Brussels in Belgium is located on a high point in the city and was once destroyed by the French. What can be seen today is the section rebuilt in 1695 and renovated in the 19th century. The marble building is covered in reliefs, majestic and spectacular, with all sides designed in Baroque architectural style. The interior of the palace is modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France, decorated with numerous murals and crystal chandeliers. It features magnificent banquet halls and elegant reception rooms, displaying precious artworks, antique furniture, and a variety of exquisite carpets.

In ancient times, this palace served as the residence of the Belgian king. If there is no national flag flying atop the palace, it indicates that the king is not in residence, and the palace can then be visited free of charge by the public. From the palace, you can overlook the entire city of Brussels. Brussels is an old city where 18th- and 19th-century historic buildings can be seen everywhere. In front of the palace lies Brussels Park, and behind the park is the Palace of the Nation, which houses the Belgian Parliament.
