Each and every building at the perimeter has a beautiful, distinctive façade.
Slightly less beautiful: the roaming packs of Leeds United fans drifting in for the evening game against Anderlect.
In the background stands the 97m spire of the Hotel de Ville in the Grand Place.
In the foreground is the rear of King Albert I and his horse's arse.
One would imagine these gardens are the proverbial riot of colour in Spring.
Not so in February, alas.
