Brussels originated as a small settlement in the 10th century, founded by a man named Saint Gudula. The name "Brussels" is derived from "Broeksel," which means "settlement in the marsh" in Old Dutch, highlighting its location on the Senne River, surrounded by marshy terrain. Over the centuries, it evolved into a significant trading hub and eventually became the political and administrative center of Belgium and the European Union. Its rich history is reflected in its diverse architecture and cultural heritage.
