Brighter Lives Football giveaway to the poor kids of Choluteca.In celebration of the national team being in the world cup finals. For more information, please visit our website thank you ! This stream is dedicated to the resilient people of Honduras, especially the children, who endure a daily life of poverty and hardship, which in turn only presents them with an uncertain future and limited hope of opportunity to advance in life.
As a Honduran citizen, I can't help but feel hopeless to see so much need around me. To see children working from an early age, without ever having the chance to go to school, due to parental poverty ,and never receive an education that they and every child in the world truly deserves, really breaks my heart. Home is often of a makeshift construction, resulting in what can only be described as little more than a shack. A meal, often the cheapest foods available and lacking in the nutrients to sustain a healthy life, is all that awaits them at the end of the day.
The knowledge that 65% of Honduran people live like this, in extreme poverty weighs heavily within me.
As a Honduran photographer, I feel I must do something. Through the links provided below, I feel I can give these anonymous faces a voice, especially the children who are our future. Thank you so much for your visit and for reading a little about poverty in Honduras.
Honduras is also a land full of diverse culture and beauty....
I really feel that there is hope for Honduras
-------
Esta galería está dedicada a todas las personas Hondureñas especialmente a los niños quienes atraviesan una vida de pobreza y escasez, lo que significa un futuro incierto, y esperanza limitadas de oportunidades para salir adelante en la vida. Como ciudadana Hondureña siento impotencia al ver tanta necesidad a mi alrededor. El ver estos niños trabajar desde temprana edad, sin ninguna oportunidad de asistir a la escuela ya que sus padres son extremadamente pobres sin recibir la educación que todo niño en el mundo merece, eso rompe mi corazón. Sus hogares a veces son pequeñas chozas. Sus alimentos muchas veces lo más barato y disponible aunque carezcan de nutrientes para tener una vida saludable, eso es lo que les espera al final del día. Siento mucha pena al saber que el 65% de la población Hondureña vive en extrema pobreza. Como fotógrafa Hondureña siento que debo hacer algo. Además de darles los enlaces abajo, siento que debo darles una voz esos niños anónimos, a estos niños que son nuestro futuro, nuestra esperanza. Muchas gracias por su visita y por tomarse el tiempo de leer un poco de la pobreza en Honduras.
Honduras es también un país lleno de diversidad cultural y belleza.
Realmente siento que hay Esperanza para Honduras.

www.lib.iastate.edu/spcl/exhibits/buildings/armory.html
Built to meet the needs of the expanding college, the Armory included a gymnasium, shooting galleries, and horse stalls. Commencement activities were to be held in the new Armory, in addition to circuses, plays, dances, and concerts. In December of 1922, a fire completely destroyed the building. Arson was suspected, but never proven. Shortly after, an exact copy was built, with the exception of the fireproof materials used to build the second Armory.
An addition to the west side was built in 1941, to match the existing east wing, and provided additional classroom space. Beginning in 1946, home men's basketball games were held in the Armory, and shortly after varsity wrestling followed. In 1956, the Armory was remodeled to add classrooms and make the building more suitable for concerts, indoor athletics, and graduation ceremonies by increasing seating capacity from 3500 to 8500. Beginning during the 1970's, the building was mainly used for general recreation - basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, etc. Twelve design studios were built in the building in 1990, and the ROTC moved its training to State Gym.

Alerted by the LOTS website news page (www.lots.org.uk/) about a route branding experiment which had been introduced the previous week on all routes serving Barkingside, I went there on 1st May 2017 to record the new Bus Stop E-tiles with colour-identification strips. The route colours had also been applied to the route numbers and diagrams on the panel timetables. I should have checked if the "spider maps" had been updated with the same colours: the 2013 diagram available on the TfL website on the date I took the pictures used different colours for some of the routes (content.tfl.gov.uk/bus-route-maps/barkingside.pdf).
All stops on the routes concerned had the new E-tiles and panel timetables applied, not just those in Barkingside itself.
No single stop was served by all seven routes (the 128 and 462 did not both share a stop with the other five) so I have uploaded two examples to cover them all. This is Bus Stop D at Fullwell Cross.
It seems the flags were not cleaned when the new E-tiles were fitted so they, and the older E-tiles, looked scruffy in contrast to the new E-tiles.
The point identifier of stop D was the flat-plate type. The school route 677 E-tile was also relatively new, the route having been introduced following the withdrawal of route 167 from Debden after operation on 31st March 2017.
At a time of budget constraints the branding seemed an unnecessary waste of resources. Whether any increase in ridership would cover the cost is a moot point. It would be a huge and complex task to extend this throughout London; I suspect it would also be an interesting logical challenge to ensure that no two routes on spider maps covering adjacent areas shared the same identification colour.
The other stop photographed on the same date is here:

is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located in the northwest of the country.
The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval-shaped and about 430 hectares in size. The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (meaning "Brugge aan Zee" or "Bruges on Sea"). The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km² and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as "The Venice of the North".
Bruges has a significant economic importance thanks to its port. At one time, it was the "chief commercial city" of the world.
Origins
Very few traces of human activity in Bruges date from the Pre-Roman Gaul era. The first fortifications were built after Julius Caesar's conquest of the Menapii in the first century BC, to protect the coastal area against pirates. The Franks took over the whole region from the Gallo-Romans around the 4th century and administered it as the Pagus Flandrensis. The Viking incursions of the ninth century prompted Baldwin I, Count of Flanders to reinforce the Roman fortifications; trade soon resumed with England and Scandinavia. It is at around this time that coins appeared for the first time bearing the name Bryggia. This name may stem from the Old Norse Bryggja, meaning "landing stage" or "port", and may have the same origin as Norway’s Bryggen, a World Heritage site in the city of Bergen, which may also share the same etymology.
Dutch
Brugge (Frans: Bruges) is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van de Belgische provincie West-Vlaanderen en van het arrondissement Brugge, alsook de zetel van het bisdom Brugge en van een hof van assisen. De stad ligt in het noordwesten van het land.
Het historisch centrum is als middeleeuwse stad opgenomen op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. Het is eivormig en ongeveer 430 hectare groot. De volledige gemeente heeft een oppervlakte van ruim 13.840 hectare, waaronder zo'n 1.075 hectare in zee, bij Zeebrugge. De stad telt circa 117.000 inwoners; ongeveer 20.000 daarvan wonen in het centrum.
De economische betekenis van Brugge vloeit voornamelijk voort uit zijn belangrijke en snelgroeiende zeehaven. Tevens is Brugge een wereldberoemde toeristische trekpleister.
De oudste tastbare bron waarop voor het eerst de naam van de stad wordt gebruikt, zijn enkele munten van voor 875. Ze vermelden Bruggia en Bruccia.
Waar de naam Brugge juist vandaan komt, is niet exact bekend. Mogelijk is het een verbastering van de Keltische naam voor de ondertussen gekanaliseerde rivier de Reie, die door Brugge stroomde en in de Noordzee uitmondde. Reie zelf komt van het Keltische woord Rogia, wat "Heilig Water" betekent. De Kelten beschouwden rivieren en bronnen als goddelijke wezens, en het is waarschijnlijk dat de Keltische naam aan de Brugse waterloop is blijven kleven. Door evolutie zou de naam van het water, Rogia of Ryggia, ook de naam van de stad geworden zijn, Bryggia.
Het is mogelijk dat er in latere eeuwen ook een contaminatie plaats heeft gevonden met het Oudnoordse woord bryggja, wat "landingsbrug" of "aanlegkaai" betekent. Zo waren er vanaf 800 veel contacten met Scandinavië via handel over de Noordzee en door de invallen van de Noormannen. De naam Brugge vertoont dan ook gelijkenissen met Bryggen, de historische haven van Bergen, dat net als Brugge vanaf de 14e eeuw een belangrijke stad was van de Hanze.
Minder waarschijnlijk is een oorsprong uit het woord "brug" aangezien er dan taalhistorisch eerder sprake zou zijn van Brigge (vergelijk met het Engelse bridge, Oudengelse brycg, Friese brigge of bregge, Gallische briva). Ook een oorsprong uit het woord "burcht" is eerder onwaarschijnlijk: vergelijk bijvoorbeeld met Oudenburg en Aardenburg, die net als Brugge op een belangrijke handelsweg lagen en eveneens uit een Romeinse nederzetting zijn ontstaan.
Regelmatig wordt naar Brugge verwezen als het "Venetië van het Noorden", refererend aan de vele kanaaltjes en bruggen. De meeste van deze kanaaltjes worden ook "reien" genoemd, naar de rivier de Reie. Ook wordt Brugge vaak de "Breydelstad" genoemd, naar de Brugse volksheld uit de 14e eeuw, Jan Breydel.
De bijnaam van de Bruggelingen is "(Brugse) zotten". Deze bijnaam danken ze aan volgende legende: nadat ze Maximiliaan I van Oostenrijk, in hun strijd om autonomie, voor een tijd gevangen hadden gehouden, verbood deze het houden van een jaarmarkt en andere festiviteiten. In een poging om hem te sussen, hield Brugge voor hem een groot feest en vroeg daarna de toelating opnieuw een jaarmarkt te mogen houden, belastingen te mogen innen én ... het bouwen van een nieuw zothuis. Hij antwoordde: "Sluit alle poorten van Brugge en je hebt een zothuis!".
Português
Bruges (em neerlandês Brugge) é uma cidade belga, capital da província de Flandres Ocidental, na região de Flandres. Tem cerca de 117 mil habitantes. Foi a capital europeia da cultura em 2002, juntamente com a cidade espanhola de Salamanca.
Bruges é chamada de "Veneza do Norte", por causa de seus inúmeros canais que a cercam ou a atravessam, mas também a ligam principalmente com a cidade de Gante.
Diversos passeios de barco são propostos aos turistas, alguns dos quais permitindo chegar às cidades vizinhas. A cidade apresenta ainda as ruínas de uma fortaleza, bem como moinhos às margens dos canais.
São praticamente inexistentes traços de civilização e actividade humana anteriores à era pré-romana gaulesa na região de Bruges. As primeiras fortificações foram construídas após a conquista do Menappi por Júlio César no século I a.C., com intuito de protecção da zona costeira contra piratas. Já no século IV, a região foi tomada aos romanos pelos Francos e as incursões dos Vikings, por volta do século IX, obrigaram a que Balduíno I, Conde da Flandres, reforçasse as antigas fortificações. Foi também nesta época que se fortaleceram as relações comerciais com a Inglaterra e a Escandinávia e surgiram as primeiras moedas gravadas com o nome Bryggia (significa "porto" em neerlandês remoto).
Foi a 27 de Julho de 1128 que Bruges foi elevada a cidade e construiu novas muralhas e canais. Desde cerca de 1050, um gradual avanço do lodo em direcção da cidade, provocou a obstrução dos acessos directos com o mar, mas uma violenta tempestade em 1134 restabeleceu-os através da criação de um canal natural (Zwin).
Com o raiar do século XII, Bruges foi incluída no circuito comercial flamengo, sobretudo devido à sua emergente indústria de lã e tecidos. Os principais mercadores da cidade apostaram no desenvolvimento de "colónias económicas" em Inglaterra e na Escócia e os seus contactos trouxeram grão da Normandia e vinhos da Gasconha para a região. Os navios hanseáticos atracavam diariamente no porto que, face a este crescimento e sobrecarga, teve de ser expandido de Damme até Sluys para acomodar os novos cog-ships.
Em 1277, o primeiro barco mercante partiu de Génova e atracou no porto de Bruges, o primeiro da rota mercantil que tornou Bruges a principal conexão com o comércio do Mediterrâneo.
Este desenvolvimento permitiu não só a abertura para a rota das especiarias de Levante, mas também a introdução de avançadas técnicas comerciais e financeiras e um fluxo de capital que rapidamente tomou conta das transacções bancárias da cidade. A bolsa de valores abriu em 1309 e desenvolveu-se no mais sofisticado mercado financeiro dos Países Baixos no século XIV. Quando as primeiras galés venezianas surgiram, em 1314, já vinham atrasadas.
No século XV, Filipe O Bom, duque da Borgonha assentou corte em Bruges (bem como em Bruxelas e em Lille) atraindo muitos artistas, banqueiros e outras personalidades proeminentes de toda a Europa.
A primeira impressão de um livro em inglês foi publicada em Bruges por William Caxton. Foi igualmente uma época em que Eduardo IV e Ricardo III de Inglaterra passaram o seu exílio na cidade flamenga.
No início de 1500, o canal Zwin, que fora responsável pela prosperidade da cidade, começou também ele a ficar obstruído por lodo. Bruges foi rapidamente ultrapassada por Antuérpia como o centro económico dos Países-Baixos. Durante a década de 1650, a cidade foi a base para a estadia de Carlos II de Inglaterra e a sua corte no seu exílio. A infraestrutura marítima foi modernizada e foram construídas novas ligações ao mar, mas sem um grande sucesso.
Na segunda metade do século XIX, Bruges tornou-se num dos primeiros destinos turísticos, atraindo turistas britânicos e franceses. O porto de Zeebrugge foi construído em 1907 e utilizado pelas tropas alemãs no decorrer da I Guerra Mundial para atracar os seus submarinos. Nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, foi alargado e tornou-se um dos mais importantes e modernos portos da Europa. O turismo internacional cresceu exponencialmente desde então e todos estes esforços resultaram na designação de Bruges com Capital Europeia da cultura em 2002.

Is one of the parishes of Andorra. The parish is composed of the areas of les Escaldes, Engordany, Els Vilars d'Engordany, Engolasters, and El Fener. As of 2005 it has a population of 16,918. Notable events include the town's annual jazz festival.
Català
Escaldes-Engordany és una ciutat i la setena parròquia d'Andorra, creada el 1978 a partir de l'antic quart homònim de la parròquia d'Andorra la Vella.
Els antics nuclis urbans de les Escaldes i d'Engordany es van unir l'any 1726. Avui formen un continu urbà amb Andorra la Vella, concentrant en l'àrea urbana dues terceres parts de la població del Principat. L'avinguda Carlemany és la continuació, a l'altra banda de la Valira, de l'avinguda Meritxell d'Andorra la Vella, formant una llarga avinguda dedicada al comerç.
El nom de les Escaldes indica que hi ha aigües calentes. El poble es va fundar al voltant d'unes fonts termals sobre una gran falla enfonsada en el subsòl. Avui molts hotels de les Escaldes ofereixen aigües termals entre els seus serveis.
Història
La parròquia d'Escaldes-Engordany, la segona en població després d'Andorra la Vella, està formada per dos nuclis urbans importants, que en els seus orígens es trobaven separats i ben diferenciats. El més antic és el d'Engordany, que fou habitat ja pels voltants del segle II o I a.C.
Tenim molt poques dades fins a l'època medieval, però sabem que diversos punts estratègics de les Valls foren habitats, un d'aquests l'Antuix d'Engordany.
De l'època medieval tenim moltes més dades gràcies a la documentació del monestir de Sant Serni de Tavèrnoles, Aquests textos ens parlen d'uns petits nuclis d'habitat: Engordany, els Vilars d'Engordany, el Fener i Engolasters. Eren comunitats recol•lectores, ramaderes i pageses, caracteritzades per la força de la tradició i funcionaven a través, sobretot, de l'ús i la possessió conjunta de la terra.
En alguns documents, ja al segle XII, apareixen un grup de "bons homes", probablement els caps de casa que es reunien quan calia prendre alguna determinació d'importància. Entre aquests caps de casa, degueren ben aviat destacar uns representants de la comunitat: els prohoms, personatges dotats d'algun tipus de significació social i econòmica, i fins i tot, moral entre els veïns.
Entre els segles XIV i XV, la situació de conflicte i pressió senyorial sobre les comunitats de la zona podrien haver permès l'aparició de grups d'artesans cada cop més desvinculats del treball agrícola i ramader i centrats en activitats que fins aquell moment havien estat només complementàries. Entre elles, a la zona d'Engordany sobresortí el teixit de draps de llana senzills.
L'existència d'aigües termals necessària per rentar i tenyir la llana significà l'aparició i la concentració d'una rudimentària indústria de draps de llana al nucli de Caldes. El desenvolupament d'aquesta manufactura tèxtil culmina l'any 1604 amb la constitució de la Confraria de Paraires i Teixidors de Sant Pere Màrtir i Sant Ivó (L'església d'Escaldes en l'actualitat es troba sota l'advocació de Sant Pere Màrtir).
Al llarg de l'època moderna, la ramaderia i l'agricultura foren les activitats principals a Engordany, mentre que els habitants d'Escaldes comptaren també amb el treball de la llana, activitat que reforçà el creixement del poble d'Escaldes, que d'un petit llogaret passà a mitjans de segle XVIII a experimentar un fort creixement econòmic, gràcies a la manufactura tèxtil i del ferro.
Però el gran canvi es produirà cap als anys 30 del segle XX, amb la construcció de la xarxa viària i la concessió de FHASA, època que marcarà també l'evolució divergent d'Engordany (que mantindrà el seu caràcter agrícola i ramader tradicional, en l'actualitat bàsicament residencial) i Escaldes (orientada al turisme, amb l'explotació de l'aigua termal, i al comerç).
Amb el fort increment demogràfic d'Escaldes-Engordany (amb Mas del Diumenge, Mas del Noguer i els Vilars) i la voluntat d'oferir a tots els habitants els serveis necessaris, el Comú d'Andorra la Vella anirà dotant els Quarts (el d'Escaldes-Engordany i el d'Andorra) d'una major autonomia. Aquest fet, unit a la voluntat del poble d'Escaldes-Engordany d'esdevenir Parròquia, va portar al plantejament davant els Coprínceps de demandes a favor de l'autonomia ja als anys 30.
Aquest procés culminarà el 14 de juny de 1978 quan per decret de les M.M.I.I. Delegacions Permanents de S.S.E.E. els Coprínceps d'Andorra per divisió de la Parròquia d'Andorra es crea la Parròquia de Les Escaldes-Engordany, amb la personalitat i atribucions pròpies d'aquesta institució del Principat, i per tant també la Parròquia d'Andorra la Vella.
L'evolució d'Escaldes-Engordany al llarg del segle XX està íntimament lligada a la utilització de l'aigua calenta i la construcció dels primers hotels balnearis, com Cal Muntanya (1904), l'hotel Paulet, l'hotel Pla o l'hostal Valira (1933).
Entre els anys 30 i 40 del segle passat es va viure el canvi més profund, amb el gran desenvolupament comercial i la substitució d'un turisme minoritari que venia a "prendre les aigües" per la massificació del turisme comercial.
Al llarg de la dècada dels 80 es van anar plantejant alternatives a aquest desenvolupament econòmic centrat, gairebé en exclusiva, en aquest turisme comercial. L'any 1984 es presentà el projecte de creació d'un centre termal i lúdic, que aprofitava el principal recurs natural, l'aigua calenta, i es plantejava com a element identificador i vertebrador d'un desenvolupament contemporani més diversificat. Aquest projecte es materialitzà en la inauguració del Centre Termolúdic Caldea l'any 1994, propietat d'una societat d'economia mixta anomenada SEMTEE.
Un altre dels grans valors naturals d'Escaldes-Engordany és la Vall del Madriu, d'unes 4247 ha. d'extensió, on l'aigua és també un element central.
Aquesta Vall té un gran interès no només pel seu patrimoni natural (vegetació i fauna) sinó pel patrimoni cultural, reflex de la vida de muntanya des de l'època medieval (bordes, cabanes de pastor, construccions de pedra seca, etc.). Aquesta vall isolada, refugi per a la flora i la fauna salvatge d'espècies rares o en perill, el juliol del 2004 va ser inscrita per la UNESCO dins la llista del Patrimoni de la Humanitat en la categoria de béns culturals, amb una petita extensió el 2006; fins al moment, és l'únic bé andorrà que hi figura.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Place
english
The Grand Place (French, pronounced: [ɡʁɑ̃ plas]; also used in English[1]) or Grote Markt listen (help•info) (Dutch) is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by guildhalls, the city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse (French: Maison du Roi, Dutch: Broodhuis). The square is the most important tourist destination and most memorable landmark in Brussels, along with the Atomium and Manneken Pis. It measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 360 ft), and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
History
In the 10th century, Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine constructed a fort on Saint-Géry Island, the point at which the Senne river became navigable. This was the seed of what would become Brussels. By the end of the 11th century, an open-air marketplace was set up on a dried-up marsh near the fort that was surrounded by sandbanks. The market was called the Nedermerckt, or Lower Market.
The market likely developed around the same time as the commercial development of Brussels. A document from 1174 mentions a lower market (Latin: forum inferius) not far from the port on the Senne river. The market was well situated along the Steenweg (Dutch: Causeway), an important commercial road which connected the prosperous regions of the Rhineland and the County of Flanders.
At the beginning of the 13th century, three indoor markets were built on the northern edge of the Grand Place; a meat market, a bread market and a cloth market.[3] These buildings, which belonged to the Duke of Brabant, allowed the wares to be showcased even in bad weather, but also allowed the Dukes to keep track of the storage and sale of goods, in order to collect taxes. Other buildings, made of wood or stone, enclosed the Grand Place.
Improvements to the Grand Place from the 14th century onwards would mark the rise in importance of local merchants and tradesmen relative to the nobility. Short on money, the Duke transferred control of mills and commerce to the local authorities. The city of Brussels, as with the neighbouring cities of Mechelen and Leuven constructed a large indoor cloth market to the south of the square. At this point, the square was still haphazardly laid out, and the buildings along the edges had a motley tangle of gardens and irregular additions.[3] The city expropriated and demolished a number of buildings that clogged the Grand Place, and formally defined the edges of the square.
The Brussels City Hall was built on the south side of the square in stages between 1401 and 1455, and made the Grand Place the seat of municipal power. It towers 96 metres (315 ft) high, and is capped by a 3 metre (12 ft) statue of Saint Michael slaying a demon. To counter this symbol of municipal power, from 1504 to 1536 the Duke of Brabant built a large building across from the city hall as symbol of ducal power.[3] It was built on the site of the first cloth and bread markets, which were no longer in use, and it became known as the King's House (Middle Dutch: 's Conincxhuys), although no king has ever lived there. It is currently known as the Maison du roi (King's House) in French, though in Dutch it continues to be called the Broodhuis (Breadhouse), after the market whose place it took. Wealthy merchants and the increasingly powerful guilds of Brussels built houses around the edge of the square.
On August 13, 1695, a 70,000-strong French army under Marshal François de Neufville, duc de Villeroi began a bombardment of Brussels in an effort to draw the League of Augsburg's forces away from their siege on French-held Namur in what is now southern Belgium. The French launched a massive bombardment of the mostly defenseless city centre with cannons and mortars, setting it on fire and flattening the majority of the Grand Place and the surrounding city. Only the stone shell of the town hall and a few fragments of other buildings remained standing. That the town hall survived at all is ironic, as it was the principal target of the artillery fire.
The square was rebuilt in the following four years by the city's guilds. Their efforts were regulated by the city councillors and the Governor of Brussels, who required that their plans be submitted to the authorities for their approval. This helped to deliver a remarkably harmonious layout for the rebuilt Grand Place, despite the ostensibly clashing combination of Gothic, Baroque and Louis XIV styles.
In the late 18th century, revolutionaries sacked the Grand Place, destroying statues of nobility and symbols of Christianity.[2] The guildhalls were seized by the state and sold. The buildings were neglected and left in poor condition, with their façades painted, stuccoed and damaged by pollution. In the late 19th century, mayor Charles Buls had the Grand Place returned to its former splendour, with buildings being reconstructed or restored.
The Grand Place continued to serve as a market until November 19, 1959, and it is still called the Grote Markt or Great Market in Dutch. Neighbouring streets still reflect the area's origins, named after the sellers of butter, cheese, herring, coal and so on. The Grand Place was named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1998. One of the houses was owned by the brewers' guild, and is now the home of a brewers' museum.
Brussels Grand-Place has recently been voted the most beautiful square in Europe. A survey by a Dutch website (stedentripper.com) asked its users to rate different squares across Europe. Moscow’s Red Square and the Place Stanislas in Nancy, France, took second and third place.
Português
A Grand-Place de Bruxelas (neerlandês: Grote Markt; português: Praça Grande) é a praça central de Bruxelas. Nela ficam o Hotel da Cidade e a Casa do Rei. Alguns autores, entre os quais Victor Hugo, considerada a mais bela praça do mundo. Foi inscrita em 1998 na lista de Património Mundial da UNESCO.
A Grand Place é o centro geográfico, histórico e comercial de Bruxelas, e o primeiro local a ser visitado por quase todos os turistas. Esta movimentada praça empedrada mantém-se o centro cívico da cidade, passados séculos da sua criação, e o melhor exemplo da arquitectura belga do século XVII. No século XI realizavam-se mercados ao ar livre e no final do século XIV foi construída a Câmara Municipal de Bruxelas, o Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall), e os comerciantes acrescentaram sedes de guildas numa mistura de estilos. Em 1695, dois dias de intensos bombardeamentos franceses destruíram tudo excepto a Câmara Municipal e duas fachadas de guildas. Os comerciantes reconstruíram as suas salas em estilos aprovados pelo Conselho Municipal, originando a harmoniosa unidade de edifícios da Renascença flamenga que vemos hoje.
Cronologia
Século XII: a praça já existia; onde hoje é a Casa do Rei existia um edifício em madeira onde se vendia pão, daí o seu nome actual em neerlandês: Broodhuis
1402-1459: construção da Câmara Municipal (Brussels Town Hall). Em 1401 foi colocada a primeira pedra e apenas em 1459 se deu a construção por totalmente concluída, sendo considerado o mais belo edifício cívico da Bélgica, estatuto que goza ainda hoje. Jacques van Thienen foi encarregado de desenhar a ala oeste e o campanário do edifício, onde usou colunas decoradas, esculturas, torreões e arcadas. A torre e a flecha iniciadas em 1449 por Jan van Ruysbroeck ajudaram a firmar a sua reputação.
1523: os primeiros mártires protestantes, Henri Voes e Jean Van Eschen, são queimados pela Inquisição espanhola
1695: a maior parte das casas, construídas em madeira, foram destruídas a 13 de Agosto num bombardeamento pelas tropas francesas comandadas pelo Marechal de Villeroy
1873: construção da actual Casa do Rei em Estilo Neo-gótico
