9 Palais de Justice or Law Courts of Brussels Façade in Belgium

3000 homes were demolished for the construction of the 19th century’s largest building, the Palais de Justice. Measuring 525 by 482 feet, the enormous, grey façade of the Law Courts of Brussels has imposing Corinthian columns and a golden dome (off camera). When it was finished in 1883 it was 12.5 times over budget. Today, its huge stones look old, dirty and in need of restoration. It’s built on Galgenberg Hill, formally known as “gallows hill.”
