Brussels
Grand' Place (Grote Markt), Brussels.
The river that flows through Brussels is the Senne River (also known as the Zenne in Flemish).
Historically, Brussels developed at the location where a road and the Senne River crossed, and the city's name is derived from a Frankish term meaning "settlement in the marshes." While the Senne was once central to the city's geography and commerce, its role as a primary waterway was eventually supplemented and largely replaced by the construction of canals, such as the Willebroek Canal, which provided more efficient access to the Schelde River and the North Sea.16
