EDITORS COMMENTS
The Palace of Justice, an architectural marvel located on the Place Poelaert-Poelaertplein in the historic Marolles district of Brussels, is a testament to the grandeur and intricacy of Belgian architecture from the 19th century. Designed by renowned architect Joseph Poelaert, this colossal building is a symbol of justice and the rule of law in Belgium. Constructed between 1862 and 1915, the Palace of Justice is the largest building to have been erected during that era, making it a significant landmark in the city's skyline. The eclectic style of the Palace of Justice is a harmonious blend of various architectural influences, including Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements. Poelaert's masterful design is evident in the building's massive arches, intricate detailing, and grandiose façade. The exterior, as captured in this photograph from the 1920s, showcases the Palace's imposing presence, with its towering spires reaching towards the sky and its ornate decorative elements adding to its visual appeal. The Palace of Justice has served as the seat of the Court of Cassation, the highest judicial body in Belgium, since its completion. The building's impressive size and architectural significance make it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Brussels and Belgium as a whole.
