Atomium
Leopold II bequeathed the 202-hectare (500-acre) estate of Heysel to the city of Brussels in 1909, but it wasn’t until the 1958 World’s Fair that it received its most famous landmark, the Atomium, a giant model of an oxygen molecule. Following extensive renovation, including replacement of its metal ‘skin’, its highest sphere gives a panoramic view of the entire region.
