Stanislas Square, Royal square in central Nancy, France.

Place Stanislas spans 125 meters by 106 meters with light ochre stones, featuring diagonal patterns created by darker stones across its surface.

The square, constructed between 1752 and 1755 by architect Emmanuel Héré de Corny, connected Nancy's medieval old town with its newer district.

The square hosts the City Hall, Opera House, Fine Arts Museum, and decorative gates designed by Jean Lamour that earned Nancy its Golden Gates nickname.

The central location provides direct access to restaurants, museums, and entertainment venues, with the area restricted to pedestrian traffic since 2005.

A time capsule containing citizen portraits and a lunar meteorite rests beneath the pavement, placed during the square's 250th anniversary celebrations.
