Where to Visit in Brussels? - Manneken Pis

The sculpture  which has no qualities is a symbol of Brussels...

This bronze statue was made in the 17th century. The little boy has about 800 clothes and the oldest one is belongs to 1698...

The statue has been stolen a few times in history. Firstly it was abducted in 1745... The little boy was stolen again a few years later by a Frenchman but Louis donate a golden costume to make up for it...

There are so many legends about sculpture. Some of these;

-Our little friend  defuse a bomb with pissing during a battle, saves the city and becomes a hero then it was sculpted.

-A rich man loses his son in the city and all the people start looking for him. Eventually they find her in a corner while pissing so the statue was made in memory of this.

Our little boy has a lot of clothes that's why you can see it in different clothes at different times of a year...
