Hôtel de Ville

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:42:06

At night the 1719 City Hall glows lugubriously in its blood-red spotlights. By day it commands Liège’s charming, if modestly sized, original main square, Place du Marché, where trees shelter two elegant well-fountains and a series of street cafes beneath a fine row of traditional house fronts. Behind the square, but only visible from a distance, rises the unusual dome of inaccessible Église St-André, shaped like a Teutonic knight’s pointed helmet.
