Victor Horta’s Major Townhouses

Often exalted as the father of the Art Nouveau movement, Victor Horta has left Brussels dotted with innovative townhouses that changed the face of late 19th-century architecture in the West. When in a time crunch and having to choose between his four UNESCO-labeled townhouses, the Maison & Atelier Horta honors the artist in his former home, while UNESCO describes the Hotel Solvay as “the most ambitious and spectacular” of his work in the Art Nouveau period.
