Obelisk Anspach, Memorial obelisk and fountain in Sainte-Catherine district, Belgium
The granite obelisk stands 20 meters tall, featuring bronze statues, marble medallions, and decorative water elements at its base near Pantsertroepensquare.
Mayor Jules Anspach received this tribute in 1897 for his work on covering the Senne River and establishing the Central Boulevards of Brussels.
The fountain displays four shields representing Brussels guilds: crossbowmen, arquebusiers, archers, and fencers, reflecting the city's medieval traditions.
Located between Quai aux Briques and Quai au Bois à Brûler, the monument stands at Square des Blindés after relocation from Place de Brouckère.
The structure combines pink granite with blue stone and bronze elements, including dolphin spouts and chimeras crafted by sculptor Godefroid Devreese.
