City hall equipped with an astronomical clock and another with a luminous dial in Mons.

Built in 1458, Mons Town Hall, with its Gothic facade, is topped by a campanile added in 1716, featuring an astronomical clock and another with a luminous dial. It bears witness to the successive occupations (French, Dutch, Austrian, Spanish) that have shaped the city's history. The Mayeur garden once served as an orchard and farmyard for the aldermanic body. At the entrance to the courtyard, a small bronze monkey from the Middle Ages is rubbed on the head with his left hand by visitors. It's said to bring good luck for a year.

Construit selon le modèle de l'hôtel de ville de Louvain ce bâtiment est remarquable sur la grand place de Mons.
Sur sa façade il y une statue de singe qui porte bonheur à toute personne qui lui caresse la tête.
Le portail d'entrée donne accès au jardin du mayeur.
A visiter absolument

très beau bâtiment qui vaut surtout si on passe le porche pour s'engouffrer dans les jardins du mayeur et prendre une photo à coté du "ropieur" sorte de manneken pis montois.
Une ambiance particulière se dégage de ce jardin qui nous plonge dans un autre temps
