Visit the underground ruins of the former Palace of Charles V, whose foundations and a street have survived its destruction.

As early as the 12th century, the former palace of the Dukes of Brabant, and later of Charles V, dominated the city from the Coudenberg hill. Considered one of the most beautiful in Europe, it was destroyed by fire in 1731, then razed 40 years later to create the Place Royale district. Today, you can visit its archaeological remains: rue Isabelle and the palace foundations, which still support the royal quarter. The best finds from the excavations are also on display.

Intéressant de voir les vestiges de l'ancien palais (et les anciennes ruelles) sous la place Royale avec une visite guidée faite par une passionnée d'Histoire :)

J'ai eu l'occasion de le voir pendant une nocturne, donc visite avec une lampe de poche, ça a donné un côté sympa en plus :)

it is really once you do in his life. It is great to be a few moments in the skin of the old town of Brussels. It's a shame the enclosures of Brussels were not more preserved. Beautiful museum. part of those that you can visit during night museums. TOP

J'ai adoré le fait de pouvoir visiter les ruines d'un ancien palais ainsi que celles d'une ancienne rue ouverte sous terre. On apprend des choses sur l'histoire de Bruxelles et on peut apprécier la qualité du travail réalisé pour mettre en valeur ce qui subsiste. C'est une visite que je conseille si vous êtes de passage à Bruxelles.
