World’s Most Beautiful Square? Brussels Grand-Place Walking Tour. Belgium [HD 4K 60fps]
The Grand-Place (French) or Grote Markt (Dutch) is the central square of Brussels, Belgium. It is surrounded by opulent Baroque guildhalls of the former Guilds of Brussels and two larger edifices; the city's Flamboyant Town Hall, and the neo-Gothic King's House or Bread House building, containing the Brussels City Museum. The square measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 361 ft) and is entirely paved.
The Grand-Place's construction began in the 11th century and was largely complete by the 17th. In 1695, during the Nine Years' War, most of the square was destroyed during the bombardment of Brussels by French troops. Only the facade and the tower of the Town Hall, which served as a target for the artillery, and some stone walls resisted the incendiary balls. The houses that surrounded the Grand-Place were rebuilt during subsequent years, giving the square its current appearance, though they were frequently modified in the following centuries. From the mid-19th century, the square's heritage value was rediscovered, and it was thoroughly renovated.
Nowadays, the Grand-Place is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels. It is also considered one of the world's most beautiful squares, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. The square frequently hosts festive and cultural events, among them, in August of every even year, the installation of an immense flower carpet in its centre. It is also a centre of annual celebrations during the Christmas and New Year period, and a Christmas tree has been erected annually on the square since the mid-20th century.
This site is served by the premetro (underground tram) station Bourse/Beurs (on lines 3 and 4), as well as the bus stop Grand-Place/Grote Markt (on line 95).
Festivities and cultural events are frequently organised on the Grand-Place, such as sound and light shows during the Christmas and New Year period as part of the "Winter Wonders", as well as concerts in the summer. Among the most important and famous are the Flower Carpet and the Ommegang, both taking place in the summer. The Belgian Beer Weekend, an event dedicated to Belgian beers, during which small and large breweries present their products at the Grand-Place, has taken place since 2010. The square has also been used for community gatherings and public celebrations, such as receiving athletes following sporting events.

    My father, Capt. Rex Morgan, US Army, was Chief of Mortuaries of the European Theater, during and after WW2. He and his men were responsible for establishing temporary American cemeteries on the continent, several of which became permanent. He was put in charge of George Patton's funeral by General Robert Littlejohn, the Army’s Chief Quartermaster and a friend of the general. My father traveled to Paris to pick out the Patton’s steel and glass-lined coffin. He prepared his body for burial and accompanied the pallbearers to the grave. He can be seen several times in news reels of the event. Initially Patton was buried with his men but the neighboring graves became trampled so they moved him to the front. Dad was also charged with cremating and disposing of the remains of the top Nazis (Goering & Co.) hanged following their conviction at the Nuremberg Trials. That’s a big story for another day.

    Très belle vidéo. Toutefois la plus grosse partie de la vieille ville (médiévale et Renaissance) a été loupée et ne se cantonne ici qu'à la Grand Rue qui va du palais du gouvernement à la porte de la Craffe ou à la porte de la citadelle. En effet la Vieille ville est plus étendue et regorge de petits squares, de petites rues pittoresques avec des façades parfois colorées, d'hôtels particuliers comme les hôtels de Lillebonne, de la monnaie, Ferraris (,famille originaire du milanais au service des ducs avec un extraordinaire plafond au dessus d'un escalier à l'italienne et une jolie cour intérieure), des loups (résidence du grand louvetier des ducs), d'Haussonville (Hotel avec une superbe cour intérieure)... Mais je ne vous en veux pas, les lorrains et parfois même les nancéiens, pas très curieux de leur histoire et de leur ville ne sont parfois pas au courant de cette jolie et agréable petite ville vieille...ou alors ils ne connaissent que celle qui figure dans la vidéo 😊

He was in the Cobra King, first tank to relieve Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge.
