A great MP in front of the very famous Brabo fountain at 'Grote Markt' in Antwerp. The fountain pictures the legend of the Roman soldier, Silvius Brabo, who managed to kill the giant Druoon Antigoon. Brabo cut off the hand of the giant and threw the hand away in the river. This story is believed to have given the city its name, (H)and (hand) -werpen (to throw).
