Passage du Nord - Noorddoorgang, Covered shopping gallery in Pentagon district, Brussels, Belgium.
The Passage du Nord stretches 69 meters in length and 5.6 meters in width, featuring thirty-four shops underneath a glass roof structure.
Architect Henri Rieck designed this gallery between 1881 and 1882 for the Société anonyme du Musée et du Passage du Nord company.
