Brabo Fountain
Most people call it the Brabo Fountain, but its actual name is the Fountain of Druon and Brabo. The fountain is very big and it has that greenish or turquoise color some fountains get after a long time. At least I guess that's why they get it. Anyway, the fountain may look rather scary to some, as it clearly depicts death. It's strongly connected to a legend of Antwerp about a giant named Druon that used to torture and kill the sailors that wouldn't pay to cross the river. Legend has it that he was defeated by the brave Brabo who also cut of his hand when killing the giant. I didn't really like the fountain but it's a main tourist highlight and believe me, there was a crowd of tourists surrounding it, so that we had to wait for at least 2 or 3 minutes before getting to take a proper look at it.
