Square du Petit Sablon - Kleine Zavelsquare
Square du Petit Sablon - Kleine Zavelsquare, Urban park and protected heritage site in Sablon, Belgium.
The Square du Petit Sablon contains numerous sculptures, fountains, and carefully maintained gardens arranged in a symmetrical pattern around a central basin.
The square opened in 1890 after architect Hendrik Beyaert transformed the former cemetery grounds into a public garden following Mayor Charles Buls' initiative.
The garden features forty-eight bronze statues on gothic columns representing the ancient guilds of Brussels, along with ten marble figures of historical personalities.
The park maintains seasonal opening hours, with extended access during summer months until 20:30 and shorter hours from October through March until 16:45.
Nine boxwood beds surrounding the central lawn symbolize Belgium's historical provinces, while an additional crown-shaped flower bed represents the nation itself.
