Église Saint-Gilles, Romanesque parish church in Liège, Belgium
The church features a Latin cross layout with a circular apse, side aisles, and a tower decorated with pilaster strips and arched friezes.
Founded in 1124 by Prince-Bishop Albéron I of Leuven, the church underwent substantial renovations in 1891 under architect Auguste Van Assche's direction.
The church houses memorial stones embedded in its walls, including the commemorative monument of Prince-Bishop Albéron I, buried at the foot of Saint Gilles' altar.
Located in the Saint-Gilles district, the church remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements.
The building materials originated from local sources, using schist sandstone and coal-bearing sandstone extracted from the Publémont ground.
