People who lives here were proud of teir city, but now things have changed. They were specially prud of the harmony and peace of: Korba and the Baron Palace. Both of them have a normal but beautiful Heliopolis architecture. These have some quiet little areas with two high villas that have small fences and gardens.

 Baron Edouard Louis Joseph Empain used to live their and he said that "A walk through my old neighborhood by the old palace was far from being a walk down memory lane. Only five years ago I planned suburb celebrated its centennial, our block was all villas, with the exception of two seven-story buildings. There were readily available parking spots, the street was wide enough to accommodate kids on bicycles, and it was back when each villa’s garage accommodated all of the residents’ cars".
