What secrets lie beneath the cobblestones of the Grand-Place? What treasures are hidden behind its magnificent Baroque façades? As part of an exhibition organised by ULB, urban.brussels and the City of Brussels – La Grand-Place de Bruxelles. A New Look at a Central Place – the authors will be revealing the unpublished results of geophysical and archaeological research carried out on ‘the most beautiful square in the world’. An invitation to rediscover its ancient history and physiognomy, from its medieval origins to the many transformations that have shaped its current face. Come and see the esplanade from a different angle!
