The Black Tower.

Built in the early 13th century, this tower is the only remaining part of the original first wall around Brussels. By the 15th century, it became private property (due to the building of the second fortification, it had long lost its purpose) and is one of the reasons it survived for so long.

In 1937, it became the first protected building in the city. It is notable for being a single medieval tower surrounded by modern-day buildings and thus has become a popular tourist destination.

A medieval tower with a concave roof partly overgrown with well maintained ivy. Buit around it is a higher, modern buildings in red/orange and grey. This combination has something very strange to it.

The Five Continents.

So, this is not some sort of AI generated photo, but it is a real existing building.

If you are ever in the city of Antwerp, be sure not to miss ‘The Five Continents’ an Art-Deco building colloquially known as ‘the boat house’ or ‘the little boat’ for it’s facade which has a balcony in the form of a ship.

Built in 1901 to the plans of architect Frans Smet-Verhas and commissioned by the boat builder Petrus Roeis, it was sold 2 years ago for funny money (a 2 and 6 zero’s) to a lawyer firm.
