This publication takes an original look at the city and its many interesting places; the pictures are not a nostalgic and historic vision of the city, but show a capital that is both colorful and grey. With many quotes, explanations, and very modern photography and typesetting, this book will be an alternative travel guide to the capital of Europe. Christina Marchi is an archaeologist and specializes in architecture and the restoration of buildings and monuments. She wants to inspire people to appreciate architecture and cultural inheritance and above all she loves her city, Brussels.
