The Manneken Pis in Brussels is a bronze statue that symbolizes the independent spirit of its inhabitants. There is evidence that there was already a similar stone statue since the 14th century. The current one, made of bronze, was made in 1619 by Jérôme Duquesnoy. It is a Belgian tradition to dress the Manneken Pis on the occasion of special celebrations.

While other European capitals are represented here by important and impressive buildings (Paris: Eiffel Tower / London: Tower Bridge / Berlin: Brandenburg Gate), there is a small sculpture here for Brussels. Nevertheless, the "Manneken Pis" is very well known and, as one of the typical landmarks here in the Europa Park, can worthy represent the metropolis of Brussels.
