Stone and concrete in the city centre do not mean that animals have disappeared. They still discreetly inhabit Brussels’ urban landscape.
Between bricks, cobblestones and high-rises, this route invites visitors to spot them — but not just anywhere: in sculptures, mosaics, bas-reliefs, logos and façade decorations. The animal kingdom is everywhere as a source of inspiration. Feathered, furry or scaly, gigantic or tiny, terrestrial, marine or imaginary, these creatures form the urban jungle explored during the walk.
Each animal, angel or demon also tells something about historical episodes, anecdotes and artists. The route offers a fresh look at heritage and at the place animals occupy in everyday city life.
