La Grande Place (or Grand-Place) in Brussels dates from the late 17th century. The architecture provides an excellent depiction of life of the period, representing decades of design, artistic style, architectural style, and construction methods. Serving as an important political and commercial center, the highly elclectic, multi-purpose Grand-Place embodies a successful blending of styles characterizing the sophistication, culture and society of the region in the late 1600's.
