What are the Provinces of Belgium?
Belgium has ten provinces, five in Flanders and five in Wallonia. This quiz also includes
the Brussels-Capital Region, which isn't part of any province.
- The provinces come from the French départements created when France ruled the area from 1795.
- They were kept by the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, and by Belgium after independence in 1830.
- For most of its history Belgium had nine provinces.
- In 1995 the bilingual province of Brabant was split along the language border.
