Nice statue as a gift from Hungarian. At the correct angle one can also see the tower in the Grand Place in the background.

One of two interesting statues to see at Place D'Espagne is that of Hungarian musician Béla Bartók. This is the work of Hungarian sculptor Varga Imre. It simple bronze statue of Bartók, standing in overcoat and peering downward. The monument was a gift from the city of Budapest to Brussels and was erected in 1995. Give it a few minutes if passing through the area. If interested, there is also a monument to Don Quixote and his companion Sancho Panza on the other side of this small square in Brussels.
Makes me real proud to see a Hungarian music composer's statue in another country's capital.

At the time of my visit there was a little graffiti on the statue but has since been removed.
