Lonely Planet review for Hôtel de Ville

Ironically, Brussels’ gargoyled, Gothic-style town hall, constructed in 1402, was the only building on the Grand Place to escape the 1695 French bombardment, despite being the intended target. Adorned with stone reliefs of nobility, its 96m-high tower is topped by a gilded statue of St Michel, the city’s patron saint. Today it houses the city’s tourist office, Brussels International.
