Brussels Parliament building, Parliament building in Centre Quarter, Belgium.

The Brussels Parliament building features a modern hemicycle on the top floor with a zinc and glass roof and curved wooden walls.

The structure stands on the former site of the Maes family mansion, which was destroyed in 1695 and rebuilt by Count Charles van den Berghe.

The parliament building displays contemporary art installations from eleven Belgian artists, selected through a dedicated commission established in 1998.

Visitors can observe parliamentary sessions from the public gallery, which extends above the main debating chamber in a curved formation.

The building combines architectural elements from three centuries, incorporating a 17th-century foundation with early 20th-century neoclassical design and modern additions.
