Congress Column - Brussels    Share

This fine column is a monument to the Belgian constitution. The column is topped with a statue of Leopold I, the first king of the modern state of Belgium. The column also acts as a monument to the unknown soldier making it doubly special. There are four allegorical female figures representing the constitution, freedom of worship, freedom of pressed, freedom of association and freedom of education. The tomb of the unknown soldier is at the base of the column, with two plaques as memorials for Brian's soldiers off the two worlds wars and an eternal flame. Worth the effort to see.

Great place. Make sure to go in the summer to have a really nice view and take great pictures from there.

The column itself is very nice and important monument, I strongly advise you to visit it. But there is also a place from where you can see some part of Brussels, it is behind column, however the view is not nice.

There's a good view of the city below, nice monument.

It was fine. We just walked by and would not visit intentionally.
