Sculpture "L'homme qui marche" Stepping Forward in rue de la Loi at the European Quarter, Brussels, Belgium. Quartier Européen. When one reaches the European Quarter has the feeling of having changed city. It is located to the east, surrounded by large green areas and huge community buildings, which are located around the park Leopold, and the Rue de la Loi and Rue Beillard streets. In the past, the neighborhood was famous for housing a residential area for the upper class, but now has become the nerve center of the entire European Community policy. The most emblematic is the Berlaymont building, headquarters of the European Commission. It was built in the 1960s, to host the first headquarters of the European Union. The work was paid for by the Belgian Government and is inspired by the building of the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris.
