Monograph
In 2014, a reference book on Coudenberg Palace was published. The special feature of this monograph is that it deals with the archaeological remains presented to the public. For the first time, the results of the excavations completed in 2006 and the studies, some of which are still in progress, are presented in a general and precise manner. Illustrated with a varied and largely unpublished iconography, the various chapters have been written by renowned specialists, archaeologists, historians and art historians.
