View of the Place Royale in Brussels, a vast neoclassical ensemble built at the end of the 18th century, and transformed between 1847 and 1853. In the center of the square stands the statue of Godefroid de Bouillon (sculptor E. Simonis, pedestal and former railing from architect T.-F. Suys). The photograph is taken from the steps of the Saint-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg church, and is oriented towards the perspective of the rue Montagne de la Cour, open onto the Brussels panorama.
