Brussels - Sablon (Zavel)
|
|
The area to the southwest of the Place Royale, the Sablon (Sands), was originally a barren and desolate piece of ground used as a cemetery for the poor. In the 16th C. members of the Brussels gentry began to build themselves houses there, with the result that it gradually developed into an elegant residential district.
