Aegidium, Protected heritage site in Saint-Gilles, Belgium.
The Aegidium building combines a simple Neo-Classical exterior with interior spaces decorated in Moorish, Louis XV, and modernist architectural elements.
Originally named Egidium in 1905, the structure became Diamond Palace in 1913 and received its current name Aegidium in 1936.
The main celebration hall features horseshoe arches, scallop shells, and oriental patterns that reflect the architectural influences of early 1900s Brussels.
The building spans 3,260 square meters across multiple levels, connected by a marble staircase with wrought iron railings.
The performance hall contains a ship-hull shaped ceiling, pink marble panels, and mirrors that create an exceptional space for entertainment.
