Place d'Albertas, Historical square in Aix-en-Provence, France.
The Place d'Albertas features balanced stone facades with intricate decorative details, ornate windows, and a central fountain from 1862.
Henri Rainaud d'Albertas initiated the square's creation in 1724, purchasing adjacent houses between 1735 and 1741 to establish an open space.
The square serves as a meeting point where artists, students, residents, and visitors gather for concerts and social interactions throughout the year.
The square underwent extensive renovations starting in October 2022, including fountain restoration and cobblestone extension along Rue Espariat.
The design follows the Parisian model of royal squares, incorporating architectural elements that reflect 18th-century French urban planning principles.
