If you come to Brussels it may just turn out that you physically won't have enough time for visiting all the sights, monuments and historical buildings of this city. The symbol of modern Brussels is the Atomium, projected by A. Waterkeyn for the World's Fair in Brussels of 1958. The spheres of the Atomium symbolize atoms in a model of an iron crystal, which is enlarged in 165 billion times. The tubes that connect the iron molecules symbolize the connecting strength. Recently a great restoration of the Atomium was carried out, for example, the aluminum facing was changed for a non-rusting one.
