History

Brussels, often seen as simply the heart of the European Union, is revealed in "Brussels Legacy" as a city with a rich tapestry of history, politics, and culture. From its medieval origins to its modern-day role as a political hub, Brussels' story is one of constant evolution.

The book uniquely integrates historical analysis, political insights, and cultural commentary to present a holistic portrait of Brussels. One intriguing aspect explored is how Brussels became a center for European politics after World War II, hosting major EU institutions. The book also delves into the city's renowned culinary traditions, such as Belgian chocolate and waffles, reflecting its cultural dynamism.

These elements combine to challenge the conventional image of Brussels as merely a bureaucratic center, uncovering a deep and layered identity. The book systematically explores these interconnected themes, starting with Brussels' geographical and historical origins, then moving through its medieval development and its rise as Belgium's capital. It culminates by analyzing how these different facets converge to define Brussels' contemporary identity, addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the city today.

Readers gain a comprehensive perspective on Brussels' past and present, enriching their understanding of this fascinating European capital.
