Belgium 🇧🇪 Antwerp|Brab Fountain⛲️

The Brabo Fountain is located in the center of Antwerp, Belgium. The fountain stands on the beautiful Grote Markt. Its unique design and rich historical legends have become the symbol of Antwerp. The center of the Brabo Fountain is a bronze statue created in 1887. It depicts the legendary Roman soldier Silvester Brabo cutting off the hand of the giant Druen Antibene. This scene symbolizes the victory of justice over evil. It is also the origin of the name of the city of Antwerp. It means "throwing hand" (Antwerp). The Brabo Fountain is located in the center of the Town Hall Square. It is surrounded by beautiful historical buildings, including the magnificent Town Hall and a series of exquisite guild halls. These buildings form a spectacular background, making the fountain more eye-catching. The Town Hall Square is the core area of ​​Antwerp. Various activities and celebrations are often held here, such as Christmas markets, concerts and art exhibitions, etc., which make the whole square full of vitality and joy. #GlobalTravel
