The symbol of Brussels and a must-see on any student group trips to the city, this little bronze chap is 58cm tall and was installed originally in 1619.

There are a number of different legends about who the boy represents. However, the most famous legend claims that the statuette depicts a young boy who saved Brussels from disaster.
