Place de la Liberté

Place de la Liberté is a large open square in Toulon with the Fédération Fountain at its center. The space is surrounded by buildings and serves as an open area for people to move through and gather.

The square was established in 1858 as Place d'Armes by the Ministry of War. It received its current name in 1889 to mark the centennial of the French Revolution.

The Grand Hotel on the northern side now houses the Théâtre Liberté, where artistic performances take place throughout the year. The square has become a natural gathering point for artists and theater-goers from the city.

The square serves as a main hub for the Mistral urban transit network, with several bus routes meeting at the Liberté stop. Visitors can easily arrive by public transportation and use the space as a central starting point for exploring the area.

The Fédération Fountain displays three stone figures carved from Calissane stone, representing France, Force, and Justice. The fountain was inaugurated in 1890 by President Carnot and remains a crafted artwork that visitors often pass by without noticing.
