Here you begin to see, above the low wall on your right, the top of an ancient stone tower. Keep climbing and take a step back to see it in more detail. It’s not just any tower: it’s the oldest vestige of Liège’s ramparts, built over a thousand years ago under the episcopate of Notger, the very first prince-bishop.

Palacio de Los Principes-Obispos

In front of you stands one of the most imposing monuments in Liège: the Palace of the Princes-Bishops. Located on Place Saint-Lambert, it bears witness to more than a thousand years of history, between political grandeur, drama and successive reconstructions. It is sometimes said to be one of the largest Gothic civilian buildings in the world.
