Perron of Liège, Historic fountain and monument in Place du Marché, Belgium
The Perron of Liège features a central stone column with multiple tiers, crowned by a cross-bearing orb at its peak in Place du Marché.
Dating from 1305, this monument stood as a symbol of civic autonomy until Charles the Bold ordered its removal to Bruges in 1467 as punishment.
The Perron appears on the coat of arms of multiple cities within the former Prince-Bishopric, representing the historical independence of these communities.
Located in the center of Place du Marché, the monument stands near multiple public transportation stops and local markets operating throughout the week.
The Three Graces sculpture group by Jean Del Cour decorated the fountain from 1697 before its transfer to the Ansembourg Museum for conservation purposes.
