The Royal Palace (Palais Royal in French and English Royal Palace) in Brussels, was built in neoclassical style in the early twentieth century, overlooking the Place des Palais. It stands opposite the Houses of Parliament.

The facade consists of a central projecting element, surmounted by a dome of blue-gray colors, and two symmetrical wings. It is characterized by a series of slender elements, the columns and narrow windows, located on three vertical registers.

In front of the Royal Palace, the gate closes a geometrical French garden. Beyond the road starts the Brussels Park, beyond which there is the Palace of the Nation that hosts the Belgian Parliament.

At the end of rue Royal there is the Botanical Gardens, much reduced in size through the construction of Nord-Midi, but it is still the city's cultural center with theaters, cinemas and exhibition halls.
