Introduction

The Manneken Pis, also known as the "Little Peeing Boy," is a famous statue located in the pedestrian zone of the city center of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. The statue and fountain stand at less than one meter tall but have a history of almost 400 years. According to legend, the little boy, named Julien, accidentally saved the city while urinating. Although the authenticity of this story is uncertain, the sculptor, Jérôme Duquesnoy, created the bronze statue in 1619, and it has been preserved to this day. The Manneken Pis has become a representative symbol of Brussels and often wears different styles of clothing, showcasing its sense of fashion.
