\n Workers made a stunning discovery when they were renovating a fountain in the Belgian city of Verviers.<\/p>\n

The heart of the city\u2019s 19th-century mayor was found in a metal box entombed within the fountain.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days ago, workers discovered a stone in which a metal box containing\u2026 the heart of the former Mayor Pierre David was located,\u201d the town of Verviers explained in a Facebook<\/a> post on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In a translated statement, the city explained the \u201castonishing discovery\u201d was made during dismantling and renovation work of Verviers\u2019 David Fountain, which bears the former mayor\u2019s name. \u201cA hollowed-out stone contained a box containing the heart of Pierre David,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

David was the first mayor of Verviers following Belgium\u2019s independence in 1830. The Brussels Times reports that the discovery confirms a local urban legend that David\u2019s heart was entombed in the fountain.<\/p>\n

The heart is sealed in a jar of alcohol inside the zinc casket, according to the BBC, which notes that David died in 1839. The fountain was inaugurated in 1883 and the casket placed inside, it reports.<\/p>\n

The casket containing the heart will be on display at Verviers\u2019 Museum of Fine Arts and Ceramics until Sept. 20, according to the city.<\/p>\n

In a separate project earlier this year a wall made from skulls and bones, believed to be nearly 500 years old, was found near a cathedral in Ghent, Belgium.<\/p>\n

Last year, grisly amputated limbs and a French howitzer shell were discovered at the site of the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium. Napoleon\u2019s French Army suffered a famous defeat at Waterloo on June 18, 1815.<\/p>\n

The first complete Battle of Waterloo skeleton was identified in 2015 as a German soldier.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
