Programme
Walk
61 From Place des Barricades to the Cité administrative, a grand panorama
[Neighbourhoods]
Between Place des Barricades and the Cité administrative, an urban landscape emerges whose street names retrace the history of Belgium. Place des Barricades and Place de la Liberté, Rue de la Révolution, Rue de l’Association, Rue du Congrès, Rue de la Presse, Rue du Gouvernement provisoire: all evoke a country in the making and a turbulent history. Monumental perspectives, bourgeois façades and open views over the city make this walk an invitation to read Brussels like a map: layer by layer, era by era.
In collaboration with Arkadia.
