Verviers - Town Hall

(Local Name: Hôtel de Ville) The traffic junction in the heart of Verviers on the left bank of the river is the Place Verte, from which the Crapaurue, the principal street, leads to the Hôtel de Ville in the Place du Marché which is flanked by beautiful Baroque and Roccoco houses. This freestanding building in the Classical style dates from the 18th C. and is one of the most elegant of its kind in Belgium. In front of the Town Hall is a perron (raised platform) dating from 1732.
