20. Royal Military Academy

Originally located on Rue de Namur and then on the site of the La Cambre Abbey, today the Royal Military Academy occupies a huge complex next to the Cinquantenaire Park. Completed in 1913, the main building was designed by Henri Maquet, official architect to the King, in a Neoclassical style inspired by French edifices. Intended to extol the glory of the armed forces, the interior comprises a series of impressive rooms, proceeding from a monumental entrance hall with its grand marble staircase, a vast chapel with stained-glass windows showing military saints and an immense auditorium, to the Commandants' Gallery which today is used as a meeting room. 

These visits are led by Royal Military Academy guides.
