Since it's a fairly new town created in 1969, Louvain-la-Neuve does not have any historical buildings or similar monuments. Nevertheless, it was designed in a radically different way from older towns. The urbanistic development of the town brings some tourists, interested in the way the town evolved from scratch to what it is nowadays. You can find particularly interesting the following buildings/places:
The Bibliothèque des sciences Sciences library is situated at place des sciences, upper town, and presents an interesting concrete architecural style.
The Aula Magna, on the main square is the main auditorium in the city, good panorama on the lake.
The tour Tower, nearby the Place des Wallons, is the only building in LLN with more than 5 storeys.
Some gigantic frescos are disseminated around the city center.
