Representa la celda unidad de un cristal de hierro ampliada 165 000 millones de veces y refleja el optimismo de posguerra y la fe en el progreso cient\u00edfico de los a\u00f1os cincuenta. Hoy es uno de los s\u00edmbolos m\u00e1s conocidos de Bruselas y de B\u00e9lgica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure was designed by engineer Andr\u00e9 Waterkeyn, with architects Andr\u00e9 and Jean Polak, for Expo 58, the first major World\u2019s Fair after World War II. It was meant to stand for only six months, but its popularity saved it. Between 2004 and 2006 it was thoroughly renovated, and the original aluminium cladding of the spheres was replaced with shining stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El Atomium consta de nueve esferas de 18 metros de di\u00e1metro cada una, unidas por tubos con escaleras y escaleras mec\u00e1nicas, mientras que un ascensor en el tubo central llega a la esfera superior en unos 23 segundos. Cinco esferas est\u00e1n abiertas al p\u00fablico y acogen exposiciones permanentes y temporales sobre la Expo 58, la ciencia y el dise\u00f1o. La esfera superior ofrece una panor\u00e1mica de Bruselas, y la entrada incluye tambi\u00e9n el Design Museum Brussels, a 150 metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El Atomium abre todos los d\u00edas de 10:00 a 18:00, con \u00faltimo acceso a las 17:30, y cierra unas semanas entre enero y febrero por mantenimiento anual. Las entradas en l\u00ednea evitan la cola de la taquilla, pero no la de la entrada, as\u00ed que conviene llegar a la hora de apertura o despu\u00e9s de las 15:00. Mini-Europe, un parque de monumentos europeos en miniatura, est\u00e1 a los pies del Atomium, y hay entradas combinadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"631\" data-id=\"12481\" src=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-1024x631.jpg\" alt=\"Las esferas de acero espejadas del Atomium bajo un cielo nublado sobre \u00e1rboles oto\u00f1ales\" class=\"wp-image-12481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-1024x631.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-1536x946.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/atomium_2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maqueta de 102 metros de un cristal de hierro construida para la Expo 58, el Atomium es un s\u00edmbolo de Bruselas: nueve esferas de acero con exposiciones y vistas de la ciudad.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1063,977,1062],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brussels","category-architecture","category-belgium"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12479"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16849,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12479\/revisions\/16849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotonmap.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
