Verviers, Industrial municipality in Liège Province, Belgium
Verviers sits along the Vesdre River in eastern Belgium, with numerous 19th-century buildings scattered throughout that show its past as a textile manufacturing hub. The city's layout still follows the patterns created by its former mills and factories.
The city became a major European textile center after William Cockerill introduced wool processing machines to the continent in 1799. This innovation brought workers and investors, making it an industrial powerhouse for generations.
The Royal Theatre hosts opera and ballet performances that draw audiences from across the region, while the Museum of Fine Arts showcases paintings and sculptures by regional artists. These venues shape the cultural life of the city today.
The main train station connects to Brussels, Liège, and German cities, with regional buses serving the surrounding areas. The town center is easy to walk through and well-connected by public transport.
The city has over fifty public fountains scattered throughout its streets, earning it the title of Water Capital of Wallonia. These fountains are more than decoration—they reflect the city's historic relationship with water and its role in daily life.
