Photographer’s Note
The old Council of Mons a Wallon city not very far from Charleroi and Bruxelles the city is an important university town and commercial centre.
The City Hall, originally built near the current location of the belfry, was moved on the Grand Place in the 13th century. The flamboyant gothic building we see today dates from the 15th century. In front of it stands a statue of a monkey, which is said to bring good fortune to those who pat his head.
