Porte de Hal
Built in 1381, the Halle Gate is a 14th-century city gate from the second set of defensive walls that enclosed Brussels. It first bore the name of "Obbrussel Gate" (for "Upper Brussels", now Saint-Gilles). The gate was renamed for the city of Halle (), now located in Flemish Brabant, which it faces. The original gate included a portcullis and drawbridge over a moat. Though their military function ended in 1564, these features are visible to this day.
