Details

Liège is the capital of the province of Liège in Belgium. The city is located on the Maas, about 30 km upstream from Maastricht. The city's nickname is La Cité Ardente. This name is first mentioned in the historical novel of the same name by Henri Carton de Wiart from 1904. The monument that symbolizes the freedom of the city of Liège is 'Le Perron'. A perroen (Dutch name) is a column with a pine cone and a cross on it, which often marks a place where justice was once pronounced.
