Brussels - Belgium

Brussels is one of the 19 municipalities of

Brussels-Capital Region and act also aad the capital of Belgium. Brussels called in Dutch Brussel and in French Bruxelles and Luke the rest of the region is this an bilingual municipality. The historic centre with the famous Grand Placé  the tiny peeing statue of Manneken Pis and other monumental buildings and sights. Brussels-Capital Region has an population of around 1.2 million but the actual City of Brussels has much smaller population of around 179 thousand. The Royal Palace can be found in the municipality of Brussels and the Belgian parliament and don't forget all those European Union buildings. So let's take an look at the flag.

The flag had two vertical bands in the colours red and green with an yellow image in the centre, those colours are derived from the cot coat of arms. The image is an stylized version of Saint Michael the Archangel and can found through the City of Brussels. Saint Michael has defeated Satan with it's spear, usually he defeated an dragon. But the use of Satan has to do with the cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. Saint Michael is patron saint of Brussels and to attracted people in medieval times to your city relics are needed and of the Archangel are none relics available. But Saint Gudula who defied Satan and her relics taken to Brussels to solve that problem and combined the two saints, that attracted people to the city. That image of the flag can do better to make it great.
