The bigest statue of the justice palace, in the very front of the main building.

From the top of the justice palace.

This photography was shot from the ground. In the center, you can see one of the highest room in the monument.

The courthouse in Brussels is particularly empty. A room located just beneath the great dome lets take this view from above.

You musn't eat too much hamburgers to fit this entry!

The upper dome. The rickety staircase gives access to the pinnacle (without a bell, unfortunately).

The Brussels courthouse was designed by architect Joseph Poelaert. Opened October 15, 1883. It was the time one of the biggest buildings in the world. Today, it is always the largest courthouse in the world. It dominates the city.

This corridor is almost completely around one of the last level gave me the solution to the legend that surrounds the courthouse in Brussels. Indeed, the legend says there are so many rooms that nobody really knows the number. It would suffice to count them you say? Certainly, but the legend also says that some rooms are hidden! And it's true! This corridor will lead to narrowing to a dead end. But shortly before, once a straight line (since it is the turn of the last square base, so that makes 4 times) there is a steep staircase, added a bit anyway, which is sometimes blocked the passage a pipeline. This staircase leads into empty rooms mysteriously seem to have been recently refurbished (light, electrical outlets). Impossible to know what they were good or what they will be used, it is already difficult to access with empty hands, imagine the trouble we have to make a table! No other access to these rooms, no windows.
