Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière and Place d'Alliance in Nancy

Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière and Place d'Alliance in Nancy, Architectural ensemble in Nancy, France

Place Stanislas, Place de la Carrière, and Place d'Alliance form a connected sequence of public squares with classical French architecture and limestone facades.

Duke Stanislaus Leszczynski commissioned the construction of Place Stanislas in 1752 to connect the medieval and Renaissance sections of Nancy.

The squares display gilded wrought iron gates by Jean Lamour, ornate fountains, and sculptures representing classical elements of French artistic tradition.

The pedestrian zones of these squares provide access to multiple museums, theaters, restaurants, and the Nancy Opera House throughout the year.

During the 1755 inauguration ceremony, the fountains of Place Stanislas flowed with wine instead of water to mark this significant urban development.
