Saint John's Hospital (french: Hôpital Saint-Jean, link=no, nl, Sint-Jansgasthuis, link=no) used the area as a cemetery in the 13th century, having run out of space in its own cemetery. ...

Léon Suys
Léon-Pierre Suys (; ; (14 June 1823 – 5 May 1887) was a Belgian architect. Suys's father Tilman-François Suys was the architect of King Leopold I, and the cofounder of the Belgian Royal Commission of Sites and Monuments, of which his friend François-Joseph Navez was also a member. Navez often used the young Léon as a model for his paintings, including ''Jeune garçon songeur'' (1831) and ''Léon Suys et ses deux sœurs''.

Covering Of The Senne
The covering of the Senne (french: Voûtement de la Senne, nl, Overwelving van de Zenne) was the covering and later diverting of the main river of Brussels, Belgium, and the construction of public buildings and major boulevards in its place. Carried out between 1867 and 1871, it is one of the defining events in the history of Brussels. The Senne/Zenne (French/Dutch) was historically the main waterway of Brussels, but it became more polluted and less navigable as the city grew. By the second half of the 19th century, it had become a serious health hazard and was filled with pollution, garbage and decaying organic matter. It flooded frequently, inundating the lower town and the working class neighbourhoods which surrounded it. Numerous proposals were made to remedy this problem, and in 1865, the City of Brussels' then-mayor, Jules Anspach, selected a design by the architect Léon Suys to cover the river and build a series of grand central boulevards and public buildings.
