Built in the 14th century, this gate is the last vestige of Brussels' second city wall, one of the largest in Europe. Complemented by moats, bastions and external forts, it made the city virtually impregnable. The impressive tower was once used as a prison. Now renovated, it houses a high-quality museum that tells the story of the building and the town. Armory treasures from the former palace of Brussels are on display, along with contemporary works. At the top of the tower, the walkway offers a wide view of the city.

Porte de Hal
Le musée est à l'intérieur d'une ancienne porte, vestige des fortifications qui entouraient la ville il y a 600ans. Le bâtiment en lui même est très beau avec un magnifique escalier central. Par contre, nous avons été déçus par l'exposition Bruegel père. Certes l'idée était originale de proposer une visite virtuelle de ses tableaux mais nous espérions en voir au moins un. Malheureusement non. Heureusement, nous avons la chance d'en voir à Viennes, il y a quelques années.
