Gare Maritime, Shopping mall in Tour & Taxis, Belgium.

The Gare Maritime features twelve modern pavilions beneath extensive steel roofs, creating an indoor city with streets, gardens, and commercial spaces.

Built in 1871 as a goods station, this structure served as a central transportation hub during Belgium's industrial expansion in the nineteenth century.
