What is a famous monument in Belgium?

Manneken Pis is a famous landmark and tourist attraction located in Brussels, Belgium. It is a small bronze fountain statue depicting a young boy urinating into a basin. The exact origins of the statue are uncertain, but it is believed to have been created in the late 14th or early 15th century, and over the course of its more than six hundred year history there have also been multiple statues stolen or intentionally demolished to be replaced due to the fact the boy is so famous now in Brussels, with more than 60 different costumes for occasions or special days.

Its fame and popularity as a major sight in Belgium also has a tradition when children come of age to urinate at public areas or fountains with friends which some tourists also take an interest in to participate themselves with water guns instead. Many visitors, both local and international take great interest in viewing this statue while passing or during visits within Brussels making it an ideal hot-spot or photo destination for tourism within Brussels.
