The Batraco wasteland is located in the UNESCO zone in the Rue du Marché aux Herbes in Brussels 78-80 [plan]. The site is behind a large fence for several years now.

Fresco for World Day against AIDS

The renovation of the fence was done in 2 phases: the owner of the land restored and painted the fence first, then the artist Denis Meyers painted a fresco with support from the City of Brussels. The new fresco decorates the wall and the neighbourhood. Moreover, it fits within the World Day against AIDS on 1 December 2009.

Homes and hotel at Batraco site

The 3rd phase is due to start in February 2010. Then a tarpaulin with view of the future project will probably be used to decorate the fence. The Batraco project received a positive report of the Consultation Committee in July 2009. It concerns a project with housing and hotel. The works should begin in 2010.
