Antje Xxxx
★★★★★3 months agoSuch a beautifil little park, a little oasis and a place to enjoy and relax. The statues around the fountain all represent great Humanist of the 16th Century, including G Mercator, a great cartographer. It's such an interesting place and well worth a visit.
Rakhi Bhattacharya
★★★★★2 months agoBeautiful garden with a sculpture wall and sculpture fountain. Maintained exceedingly well. Across from a gorgeous church. Lovely square to spend time and take pictures as beautiful memories of Brussels. It's very clean. There is a rule to stay off the grass. Flowers and plantings change according to season.
