Among the man-made landmarks of Liege are the Palace of the Prince-Bishops in St. Lambert Square, monumental cathedrals and collegiate churches such as St. Bartholomew’s Church and St. Peter’s Cathedral in Liege. In the center of the city stands the Perron fountain and the equestrian statue of Carolus Magnus, and in the vicinity attract the attention of Fort Eben-Emael and the castle of Jeje. No less interesting are the monastery of Our Lady of Peace, various sculptures and museums that tell about the glorious and difficult pages of the history of the region.
