The Royal Palace of Brussels stretches across the hillside with a long, uniform neoclassical facade punctuated by a rhythm of tall, narrow windows. While it serves as the official palace of the Belgian monarchs, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde do not live here. They reside at the Royal Castle of Laeken on the outskirts of the city. Instead, this building functions as a workspace for the king, hosting state visits, diplomatic receptions, and the signing of laws within its vast, gilded rooms.
