| Charleroi Overview |
Founded in 1666 after a turbulent history. In the 19th century Charleroi became important as an industrial centre when a canal was built to Brussels. The industrial production could then be transported via the capital to the harbor of Antwerp and other parts of the country. The produce was based on iron, glass and coal.
Charleroi has a high level of culture from the "Palais des Beaux-Arts" which attracts many famous international artists to the town's 11 museums. Charleroi, is also easily accessible by road, train or air. |
