About Waterloo
Waterloo plays an important economic, touristic and cultural role due to the enthusiasm of its many companies, tradespeople and the high cultural standards of its residents. The city owes its fame to the Duke of Wellington and to the Battle of Waterloo held in 1815. You can visit the battlefield and the Wellington Museum. Opposite the museum there is the church of Saint Joseph, which contains memorials to the British soldiers who lost their lives in the battle.
