Liège - Parc d'Avroy

South of Saint-Jacques, the Parc d'Avroy is laid out on the site of an old harbor. In the north of the park is a massive statue of Charlemagne on horseback (1868), a few yards to the east, on the Boulevard Piercot, stands the Royal Conservatory of Music (1881-1886). Alongside the Meuse is an elevated terrace surrounded by a wall with four groups of bronze statues, among them the Bulltamer by L. Mignon and the Monument National de la Résistance (National Monument to the Resistance Fighters in the Second World War).
