The Grand-Place is an exceptional example of the eclectic mix of architectural styles and artistic characteristics of the culture of society in this region. Because of the quality of its architecture and remarkable value, the Grand-Place illustrates the remarkable evolution and the success of a mercantile city in the north of Europe at its apogee of prosperity. The Grand-Place of Brussels is a homogeneous whole of private and public buildings, dating principally from the end of the 17th century. The architecture summarizes and illustrates vividly the social and cultural quality of this important political and commercial centre.
