Info
De Brouckère Square (French: Place De Brouckère, Dutch: De Brouckèreplein) is a major square located in the city centre of Brussels, Belgium. It is named in honour of Charles de Brouckère, a former mayor of Brussels and professor at the Free University of Brussels, who played a great political role during the Belgian Revolution of 1830. The square took the place of the Augustinian Church, which was demolished in 1893.De Brouckère Square is dominated by fin de siècle buildings, but modern colossi have also risen on its southern side since the 1970s. The area around the square is characterised by the presence of theatres, a large cinema, hotels and restaurants, as well as some of the most important entertainment venues and shopping streets in the city.
