Tour & Taxis Park

The Human Rights Monument (French: Monument aux Droits de l'Homme; Dutch: Monument voor de Mensenrechten) is a monument in Tour & Taxis Park, in the City of Brussels, Belgium, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Inaugurated on 10 December 2018, it was designed by the landscape architect Bas Smets and commissioned by the former Brussels Minister of the Environment and Energy, Céline Fremault. The monument was created to provide a dedicated space for reflection on human rights, addressing the lack of such a space in Brussels. While human rights texts have been displayed in other public areas, such as Parvis de Saint-Gilles/Sint-Gillisvoorplein premetro station, this monument offers a space for deeper contemplation. The design was inspired by Memorial 22/03, a land-art work by Smets honouring victims of the 2016 Brussels bombings, and it aims to serve as a physical representation of human rights. The 12-metre-high (39 ft) obelisk features thirty coloured stone blocks, each inscribed with an article of the UDHR in French, Dutch, German, and English. The colours range from dark at the bottom to light at the top, symbolising the diversity of human rights and cultures. Surrounded by a circle of Scots pines, the monument invites reflection on the values of equality and dignity. The design was developed through consultations with human rights groups, political parties, and architects, emphasising the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary dialogue. The monument encourages visitors to engage with the principles of human rights and consider their relevance today. Financed by Brussels Environment with a budget of €140,000, the monument was completed in time for Human Rights Day (HRD) in 2018.

Tour & Taxis (French: Tour et Taxis, Dutch: Thurn en Taxis) is a large former industrial site in Brussels, Belgium. It is situated on the Brussels Canal in the City of Brussels, just northwest of the city centre, immediately adjacent to Laeken and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, and about 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) west from the Northern Quarter business district. The site is composed of large warehouses and offices surrounding a former freight station and its spacious central hall, known as the Royal Depot (French: Entrepôt Royal, Dutch: Koninklijk Pakhuis). The main buildings on the site are made of brick, glass and wrought iron, and are prime examples of 19th-century industrial architecture. Though the site was long disused following its loss of importance as a shipping and customs hub, it has been partially restored, and is now used for large cultural events, which have included Couleur Café Festival, the Brussels Design Market, BRAFA Art Fair, Art Brussels, The Color Run Belgium and Salon du Chocolat, as well as for office space.

The Maritime Quarter (French: Quartier Maritime; Dutch: Maritiemwijk) is a quarter of Brussels, Belgium. Located in the north of the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, with a piece extending into the City of Brussels, it lies adjacent to the Brussels Canal and forms part of the broader Canal Zone (French: Zone Canal; Dutch: Kanaalzone), an area that has long served as a logistical and economic artery for the city. The Maritime Quarter developed in the early 20th century as a hub for port-related industries, warehousing, and working-class housing. Over time, the area experienced industrial decline, followed by periods of urban decay. However, in recent decades, it has become the focus of revitalisation programmes. Nowadays, it is home to a diverse population and is characterised by a mix of industrial heritage and modern development. The district is crossed by the Boulevard Léopold II/Leopold II-laan running east–west, and is bounded to the east by the canal, to the north by Tour & Taxis, to the west by the railway line and to the south by the historical centre of Molenbeek. It is served by the metro station Ribaucourt on lines 2 and 6.
