The record
A section in front of the Paul-Henri Spaak building, part of the densest cluster of institutional Wall segments in any capital outside Germany.
A section stands in front of the Paul-Henri Spaak building at the European Parliament. Brussels holds the densest cluster of institutional segments in Europe — the European Commission, this Parliament site, NATO headquarters, Leopold Park, the Elia Group headquarters in Schaerbeek, and a temporary exhibition on Place du Luxembourg. The European institutions have assembled, without ever planning to, the largest collection of Cold War border material in any capital outside Germany.
