Liège Cathedral was founded in the 10th century by Bishop Eraclus as the collegiate church of Saint Paul and rebuilt in Gothic style from the 13th to the 15th century. It became the cathedral in the early 19th century, after Saint Lambert's Cathedral was demolished, and its tower was raised in 1811-1812. The cloister holds the Treasure of Liège, a separately ticketed museum.
The Prince-Bishops' Palace on Place Saint-Lambert was the residence of the prince-bishops of Liège, rebuilt from 1526 for Érard de La Marck by Arnold van Mulken. Its south façade was rebuilt after a fire in 1734. It now houses the law courts and the provincial government; visitors can walk into the main courtyard, lined with arcades on 60 carved columns.
The Montagne de Bueren is a public staircase of 374 steps in Liège, built in 1881 to climb from the Hors-Château district up the hillside towards the Citadel. Its average gradient is close to 30 percent. It is named after Vincent de Bueren, who led the 600 Franchimontois against Charles the Bold in 1468, and its landings look out over the city.
The Grand Curtius is a museum complex on the Meuse in Liège, opened in 2009, joining the city's collections of archaeology, decorative arts, religious and Mosan art, weapons and glass. Its core is the Palais Curtius, a red-brick mansion built around 1600 for the arms dealer Jean Curtius. Exhibits include the Evangeliary of Notger and Ingres' portrait of Bonaparte as First Consul.
The Collegiate Church of St Bartholomew in Liège is a Romanesque church in the Mosan style, built from the late 11th to the late 12th century, with a twin-towered westwork and red-and-white walls. It was restored from 1999 to 2006. It keeps the brass baptismal font made in the early 12th century and attributed to Renier de Huy, resting on oxen and showing five baptism scenes.
Liège-Guillemins is the main railway station of Liège and a stop on Belgium's high-speed lines, designed by Santiago Calatrava and opened on 18 September 2009. Built of steel, glass and white concrete, it has no closed façade: a vault 160 metres long and 32 metres high spans its nine tracks, with walkways and footbridges open to everyone.
