The Squares Quarter (French: Quartier des Squares; Dutch: Squareswijk) is a quarter of Brussels, Belgium. The district is the northern spur of the European Quarter, located between Saint-Josse-ten-Noode and the Leopold Quarter. It is bounded by the Chaussée de Louvain/Leuvense Steenweg to the north, the Rue du Noyer/Notelaarsstraat and the Avenue de Cortenbergh/Kortenberglaan to the east, the Rue Joseph II/Jozef II-straat and the Rue Stevin/Stevinstraat to the south, as well as the Small Ring (Brussels' inner ring road) to the west. The toponym refers to the many squares in the area, in particular the Square Ambiorix/Ambiorixsquare, the Square Marguerite/Margaretasquare, the Square Marie-Louise/Maria-Louizasquare and the Avenue Palmerston/Palmerstonlaan.[1][2][3]
