BRUSSEL - CITY PLAN ,1894 Antique Colour Map

HISTORICAL MAP CHART SHOWING LOCAL TOPOGRAPHY ROUTE AND RAILWAY MAP

Brussels (Dutch: Brussel, pronounced French: Bruxelles, in Belgian French and often by non-Belgian speakers of French; German: Brüssel) is the capital of Belgium, the French Community of Belgium, the Flemish Community and the de facto capital of the European Union. Brussels is, first of all, a city located in the center of Belgium and is its capital, but it sometimes also refers to the largest municipality of the Brussels-Capital Region. This municipality inside Brussels is correctly named The City of Brussels (French: Bruxelles-Ville or Ville de Bruxelles, Dutch: Stad Brussel), which is one of 19 municipalities that make up the Brussels-Capital Region .The Brussels-Capital Region is a region of Belgium in its own right (Région à part entière, like even Dutch-speakers say), alongside Wallonia and the Flemish Region. Geographically and linguistically, it is an enclave in the Flemish Region. Regions are one component of Belgium's complex institutions, the three communities being "the" other component: the Brussels inhabitants must deal with either the French (speaking) community or the Flemish Community for matters such as culture and education. Brussels is also the capital of both the French Community of Belgium (Communauté française Wallonie-Bruxelles in French) and of Flanders (Vlaanderen); all Flemish capital institutions are established here: Flemish Parliament, Flemish government and its administration
