Halle Gate Museum

As the last surviving piece of the second walls of Brussels, the Halle Gate is a 14th-century city gate that now houses a museum dedicated to the medieval City of Brussels. Signs give its name in French as Porte de Hal and in Dutch as Hallepoort.

The building's appearance owes much to the 19th century, when the architect Henri Beyaert heavily restored it in the neo-Gothic style it keeps today. The museum is part of the Royal Museums of Art and History.

The gate stands on Boulevard du Midi/Zuidlaan, just south of the Marolles neighbourhood, on the boundary between the City of Brussels and Saint-Gilles. It suits visitors curious about medieval Brussels and the walls that once enclosed it.
