NATO Star, Steel sculpture at NATO Headquarters, Brussels, Belgium.

The NATO Star sculpture rises 7 meters high at the entrance of NATO Headquarters, featuring a geometric design made from weathering steel material.

The Belgian architect Raymond Huyberechts created this sculpture in 1970, and its official inauguration took place on September 10, 1971 at NATO Headquarters.

The sculpture incorporates two circles within its design to represent the connection between Europe and North America in the NATO alliance.

Located at Boulevard Leopold III in Brussels, this sculpture stands in the court of honor, surrounded by flags from NATO member countries.

The NATO Star maintains its original color due to the specific properties of weathering steel, which forms a protective layer against environmental conditions.
