One of the main attractions in Liège, Belgium is .... a stair. This stair, which is
actually a street, gives a connection between two areas of the city and it offers
a connection to the citadel of Liège.

Some royal history

The Montagne de Bueren was created between 1875 and 1880 as a remembrance
of the Wars of Liège.

The Wars of Liège were a series of three rebellions between the citizens of
Liège, the Prince-Bishopric of Liège against the expanding Duchy of Burgundy.

In 1468 the rebels were defeated by Charles the Bold and the city twice was
burnt to the ground.

The Montagne de Bueren was named after Vincent van Bueren, one of the
commanders of the rebels.

A visit

I visited and climbed this stair in 2018. Afterwards my legs were thrilling.
Although the city's history isn't so nice, it is good that the people of Liège
don't forget their past.
