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.
