The Place des Martyrs Square, Brussels, Belgium. Symbol of the Belgian Revolution of 1830. The Martyrs Square (Place des Martyrs) is a great unknown for tourists visiting Brussels. It is an eminently tourist spot but well known for the Belgian population, especially its history, because it evokes the Belgian revolution of 1830. The place is a haven of tranquility away from the bustle of the Rue Neuve (by accessed) . It was designed by architect Claude-Antoine Fisco in 1774, who surrounded himself with neoclassical buildings that now house a library, a modern theater and ministerial cabinets of the Flemish Community. Although formerly called Plaza St. Michel, the current name is due to the heroes of the war for independence from Belgium. The square is a national cemetery of the fallen during the revolution of 1830. In the center is a monument, known as Monument Pro Patria, under which there is a crypt where are buried more than 450 bodies.
