Historical context:
The Congress Column, erected in 1850, is a Belgian monument par excellence. It was erected in honour of the first National Congress, as a confirmation of the young Belgian Nation. Joseph Poelaert was the architect of this prestigious monument.
The column tells us about Belgian history from September 1830 to July 1831. On the lower part of the pedestal, you can see the carved names of the citizens who formed the provisional government.
