9. The most famous landmark of Brussels is the sculpture "Manneken Pis". The exact time and cause of the unusual monument is unknown. But there are two versions. According to the first - the monument is installed as a reminder of grimbergenskoy war. To encourage the warring citizens, with a small basket heir to the throne was ordered to hang on to a big tree, and the baby peed on the bottom of fighting men. The second legend tells of a little boy who kept his head and in a moment of danger put out a stream of urine ammunition laid out enemies under the walls of the city.
