    The ponds of Ixelles are probably the best known ponds of the Maelbeek. Located between the Abbaye de la Cambre and Place Flagey, there were originally four of them, serving as fishponds but also for the production of ice from the 19th century.

    As the district experienced strong urbanization at the end of the 19th century, two of the four ponds were filled in to form the current Place Flagey and Place Sainte-Croix.
