Located in the heart of Brussels, this monument personifies the sense of humour of the people of Brussels. As you walk through the streets of the centre of the city, you will come across this character who, in reality, must be one of the most photographed fountains in the world!. Legend has it that Brussels had been resisting a siege for several days. The invaders, unable to penetrate the city walls, decided to set fire to them. Enter our little hero, who had the unfortunate habit of getting up in the night to answer the call of nature. He came out of his house and saw the glow of the fuse that had been lit by the invaders who were trying to set fire to the city. With no water nearby, he had no choice but to urinate on it to extinguish it and save the city from the flames!
