Perron of Liège
Liège, Italy
The Perron of Liège (French: Perron de Liège) is a perron, a civic monument, in the centre of the Belgian city Liège. Its precise age is unknown, but it is mentioned in written sources as early as the 12th century. During the Middle Ages it gradually became associated with a sense of civic freedom a
nd independence. After an uprising against the Burgundian State in 1468, Charles the Bold had the perron dismantled and removed to Bruges. After his death it was returned to Liège. Subsequently it has been embellished throughout the centuries. A renovation was carried out in 2018–2019. The city of Liège describes the monument as the most important symbol of the city.
