Place de la Liberté, City square in Toulon, France.
The Place de la Liberté extends over 117 meters in length and 120 meters in width, featuring the Federation Fountain at its center point.
Initially established as Place d'Armes in 1858 by the Ministry of War, the square received its current name in 1889 to mark the French Revolution centennial.
The Grand Hotel building on the northern side now houses the Theatre Liberte, where artistic performances take place throughout the year.
The square functions as the main transfer point for the Mistral urban network, with multiple bus routes converging at the Liberte stop.
The Federation Fountain displays three stone figures carved from Calissane stone, representing France, Force, and Justice, inaugurated by President Carnot in 1890.

The port city of Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast offers numerous subjects for photographers. The historic city centre displays buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Sainte-Marie-Majeure Cathedral and the town hall with its atlantes by Pierre Puget. The military harbour, one of France's main naval bases, presents warships and submarines. Mont Faron rises 584 metres above the city and provides views across the Toulon roadstead and coastline. The cable car leads to the summit, where the Memorial du débarquement en Provence is located. At the foot of the mountain lies the Mourillon district with its sandy beach and colourful facades along the promenade. The Cours Lafayette market takes place daily and showcases the region's Mediterranean produce. The Toulon Opera House, built in the 19th century, ranks among the largest opera houses in France outside Paris. The old harbour Darse Vieille displays fishing boats and yachts against the backdrop of limestone cliffs.
