Known for its Art Nouveau architecture, Brussels is the city in Belgium from which architects Victor Horta and Paul Hankar came. They were responsible for the beginning of the Art Nouveau style in the world. During the 19th century, Brussels was the home of multiple Art Noveau style buildings, from homes to cafes making the city famous for its architecture. The geometry, harmony and balance seen in this style of architecture are still seen throughout the city through its cultural heritage.
