39/50.- Brussels, Montgomery Square and Fountain

This traffic circle between two of Brussels’ Boulevards (wide avenues with trees) used to be called St. Michael’s Circle, after the city’s patron saint. After the liberation, it was renamed Montgomery Circle, after the British Field Marshal whose British troops liberated Brussels. The large circular fountain was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Tervueren Avenue, a wide, tree-lined boulevard not unlike the Paris Champs Elysées.
