Upon arriving at the Grand Place in Brussels, I was initially struck by the magnificent architecture of the surrounding buildings. The unique facades of the Guildhalls were simply breathtaking, each representing a different trade or guild. I observed the Town Hall with its Gothic style tower was particularly grand amongst the other buildings and altogether all of them felt like a collection of medieval European architecture. I delved deeper into the history of the site, learning about the centuries-old market square's function in international trade. I could hear the sound of horse carriages and merchants shouting and saw this bustling center of a city that is often referred to as the heart of Europe. The atmosphere was electric and yet somehow serene. Comparing this place to my previous locations, I can say that its architecture and history are truly one-of-a-kind and on a scale that I have never seen before.
