Justice Palace, Joseph Poelaert's 19th-century colossal neoclassical creation, dedicated to the might and majesty of the law, was the largest building in the world at the time when it was built. The Palace’s domed splendour dominates the cliff on which it is built, which rears up above les Marolles, a once poor working class neighbourhood of Brussels which is today an appealing combination of yuppies and immigrants, all of whom add their various flavours. Justice Palace looms overhead, and what its creators intended to act as a blatant warning, has become a constant reminder of the tragic cases being dealt with within it’s vast stone walls.

Justice Palace in Brussels is an interesting insight into a particularly unique country, and one of the many fascinating sights and sounds that you will find in Brussels city. There are many warm and welcoming Brussels hotels where your Brussels experience will be completed.
