Brussels was built on 7 hills: St. Michael's Hill, Koudenberg, Warmoesberg, Kruidtuin, Kunstberg, de Zavel, and St. Peter's Hill. There are also 7 gates from the 12th century and 7 streets leading to these gates: St. Catherine's Gate, Black Gate, St. Gudula, Koudenberg, St. Jacob's, Warmoespoort, Stone Gate. Also, around the Grand Place there are 7 streets. And there were 7 patrician families with 7 seats on the council. Some even link this to the number 7 in alchemy, as there are 7 steps to reach the Philosopher's Stone.
