In Brussels’ urban landscape, not everything happens at the surface. Beneath our feet, layers of time, lives and structures have accumulated, forming an invisible landscape: that of urban archaeology.
This route invites visitors to descend into the city’s memory and explore what lies beneath façades, paving stones and contemporary street patterns. Medieval remains, old foundations, traces of vanished rivers and fragments of forgotten buildings form a buried landscape that is still active within the urban structure.
Urban archaeology reveals a living city made of successive layers, where the visible and invisible are constantly in dialogue. It invites a broader way of looking at the urban landscape and imagining what persists beneath our feet. An exploration of the territory’s depth, where memory, matter and landscape intertwine to reveal Brussels in all its historical thickness.
