Wavre, Provincial capital in Walloon Brabant, Belgium

The city spans across both banks of the Dyle River, featuring Gothic architecture and numerous green spaces within its urban layout.

In 1222, Duke Henry I of Brabant granted Wavre its official city charter, marking the beginning of increased trade and economic growth.

The annual Grand Tour procession and traditional Jeu de Jean et Alice performances maintain local folklore traditions throughout the calendar year.

The central market square hosts the largest weekly market in Walloon Brabant, offering fresh produce, local specialties, and regional products.

The Maca statue at the town hall, depicting a climbing child, has developed a polished surface from visitors touching it for good fortune.
