The smallest commune in Brussels also happens to be the most densely populated.
Although small, this commune is full of striking contrasts. The international-class hotels on Place Rogier/Rogierplein, the tower blocks of offices on Place Madou/Madouplein and the little Manhattan of the North rub shoulders with neighbourhoods where the mainly Turkish population has recreated the chipper, bustling atmosphere of an Eastern city.
On the site of the old Jardin Botanique/Kruidtuin, the neoclassic greenhouses of the French Community Cultural Centre stand proudly.
