The Fortifications of Brussels (French: Fortifications de Bruxelles, Dutch: Vestingwerken van Brussel) refers to the medieval city walls that surrounded Brussels, Belgium, built primarily to defend the city but also for administrative reasons.

  • Les fortifications de Bruxelles comportent : * l’enceinte de Bruxelles et ses portes de ville ; * la première enceinte de Bruxelles ; * la seconde enceinte de Bruxelles ; * le fort Jaco ; * le fort de Monterey. * Portail de l’histoire militaire * Portail de Bruxelles (fr)
  • Le principali fortificazioni di Bruxelles consistettero in due cinte murarie intorno alla città di Bruxelles: la prima, costruita all'inizio del XII secolo, e la seconda, completata nel tardo XIV secolo e poi modernizzata nel corso del XVII secolo. Al giorno d'oggi solo alcuni tratti di entrambe le cinte murarie sono ancora visibili. (it)
  • De stadsomwallingen van Brussel waren stenen stadswallen rond Brussel. De bouw van de eerste omwalling werd vermoedelijk aangevat in de vroege 13de eeuw tijdens de regeerperiode van Hendrik I van Brabant, Graaf van Leuven en Hertog van Brabant, en nam meerdere decennia in beslag. De tweede wal werd gebouwd in de 14de eeuw, nadat bleek dat de oude wal te klein was geworden om de stad nog voldoende veiligheid te bieden. Het traject van de tweede stadsmuur komt overeen met de huidige Brusselse binnenring, die werd aangelegd na de afbraak van de stadswal. (nl)
