The country

Belgium is a federal state made up of three communities, based on language and culture (Flemish, French and German-speaking), and three regions: the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region and the Brussels-Capital Region.

The Grand-Place in Brussels, rebuilt in record time after the city was bombarded by the troops of Louis XIV in 1695, has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998. The historic centre of Bruges, the cradle of the Flemish Primitives in the 15th century, has been listed since 2000.
