Photo and descriptionThe Royal Palace in Brussels is located on the elongated Palace Square, which rather resembles a wide avenue, rather than the usual square. The palace complex consists of four mansions combined into one: Valsker, Bender, Belgioioso and Bellevue. The Royal Palace is the official residence of the monarchs of Belgium, who do not live here permanently: back in the 19th century, they moved from the center of Brussels to its outskirts - to the Laeken Palace. In the Royal Palace, in luxuriously decorated halls, official receptions of foreign delegations and Christmas concerts are usually held. The Royal Palace complex appeared under the King of the Netherlands William I. In Brussels, he had a modest residence, which should have been enlarged. For this, two mansions were chosen, located on both sides of the Heraldiki street. They were expanded and connected to the central building by colonnades. Three architects - Geslin-Joseph Henri, Charles Vander Stretin and Tillman-Francois Suisse - worked on the buildings to transform them into what we now know as the Royal Palace. After the Belgian Revolution in 1830, the palace became the property of not the Netherlands, but Belgium. In summer, tourists are allowed to the Royal Palace for free, who can see with their own eyes the luxurious halls intended for balls and receptions.
