Right in the centre of Brussels, you will find one of the oldest shopping galeries in Europe, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert. This very beautiful shopping arcade was inaugurated in 1847. The initial idea for this project came from the young Belgian architect Jean- Pierre Cluysenaer, who was a great admirer of the traditional Renaissance architecture. It is a magnificent building and, of course very popular by visitors to the Belgian capital. What a difference with the shopping malls we are familiar with in our country.
Am thoroughly enjoying your pictures of Brussels.
ReplyDeleteThe shopping gallery is exquisite.
Yes, in comparison to our shopping malls it has plenty of classical class.
Look forward to anything else you have from your trip, Mike.
More to come David. Glad you are enjoying the pictures
