Place du Petit Sablon

Fodor's Review:

Opposite the Grand Sablon, this pretty square is surrounded by a magnificent wrought-iron fence, topped by 48 small bronze statues representing the city's guilds. Inside the peaceful garden stands a double statue of the Flemish patriots Counts Egmont and Hoorn on their way to the Spaniards' scaffold in 1568.
