Fresque des Wallons, Public mural at City Hall, Namur, Belgium.

A 330-square-meter painting covers the entire gable of Namur City Hall extension, featuring 250 characters and regional symbols through detailed artwork.

Created by CitéCréation art group between April and August 2004, the mural received an official inauguration during Wallonia celebrations on September 18, 2004.

The mural displays representations of notable Walloon figures including Charlemagne, Ernest Solvay, Georges Simenon, and includes the Walloon rooster by Pierre Paulus.
