Senne Through Central Brussels

By hello

The Senne was the river on which Brussels developed, but its polluted central course was covered over and heavily re-engineered in the 19th century. Status: Covered, diverted, and built over through the city center Surface clues: The grand central boulevards replaced the visible river corridor Historical importance: The covering of the Senne was one of Europe's major urban sanitation and rebuilding projects
