Built for the 1958 World's Fair, the Atomium was intended to last only six months, but its popularity and success made it a symbol of Brussels.
Its characteristics: 102 meters high, a 2,400-ton steel structure, and nine interconnected spheres originally clad in aluminum. The Atomium represents the nine atoms of an iron crystal: a reference to the science and uses of the atom, important and rapidly developing topics at the time.
