What you will discover
Description
Dogs, cats, horses, but also toads, falcons, and lions! From public enemies to prestigious domestic companions, four-legged Brussels residents have played many roles and held varied reputations over the centuries.
Though their past omnipresence in urban life has diminished, numerous traces of their presence—both historical and legendary—still adorn façades and monuments today. Moreover, increased protection of species and their habitats has opened a new chapter, revealing the discreet presence of wildlife in some unexpected places. Should we always separate urban life from the wild?
Through a tour suitable for all ages, we invite you to discover a parallel history of Brussels, inseparable from that of its people.
