Charles Buls memorial, Relief sculpture near Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium.

The Charles Buls memorial features a stone plinth with two central figures representing a teacher and student, created by sculptor Victor Rousseau.

Mayor Charles Buls, who served from 1881 to 1899, implemented protective measures for Grand Place facades and supported the reconstruction of The Star building.

The memorial includes inscriptions in both French and Flemish languages, reflecting the bilingual nature of Brussels that Buls advocated during his tenure.

Located at the intersection of major pedestrian routes through the historic center, the memorial serves as a reference point for exploring nearby architectural landmarks.

The monument resulted from a collaboration between architect Victor Horta and sculptor Victor Rousseau, funded by architects involved in Grand Place restoration.
