The Berlaymont: Then vs. Now

More than 50 years have passed between some of these photos of our headquarters and now. And we have been able to preserve them thanks to our AV service, which takes care of our audiovisual heritage and makes it available to all of you.

EU history has many milestones and thanks to the work of our archivists, we can remember each of them.
