One of few remaining parts of the 8km wall that surrounded the city . This 14th century gatehouse tower was preserved as a military prison .

Costs 10 euros, but totally worth it. You can go around the wall on the roof and the view is amazing.

Beautifull museum that shows a bit of brussels history.
