Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo

The neoclassical building is located immediately to the north of the Lion's Mound on the battlefield of the Battle of Waterloo in the municipality of Braine-l'Alleud in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant.

The white painted brick walls of the rotunda are decorated with recessed blind arches separated by Ionic pilasters, and crowned with parapet with a frieze of palmettes.

It is lit from above by a ring of glazing around the edge of the conical roof and is viewed from a 5 metres (16 ft) high platform at the centre of the rotunda.

The painting depicts several different episodes from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, concentrating on charges by French cavalry.

In 2008 the Belgian government proposed that the panorama should be included within a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing.
