    The Archéoforum, beneath the Place Saint-Lambert, offers a visit to the remains exposed during a series of archaeological excavations between 1907 and the present day. The true "historical heart" of the city, the Place has yielded the traces of nearly 9000 years of history. From the concrete entrance point on the îlot Tivoli, a reminder of the major works around the Place Saint-Lambert, to the gift and book shop, passing through the crypt dedicated to Saint-Lambert and the remains of the Vieux Marché, the visitor travels through ten scenographic settings each with its own different audio-visual atmosphere. A moving encounter with the history and splendour of the "Cité Ardente" from its origins to our own times. The site can only be visited accompanied by a specialist guide.

    CATHEDRAL AND TREASURY
    © O.T. Liege - Marc Verpoorten
    It's Saint-Paul's Cathedral that houses today the Treasury of Saint-Lambert's Cathedral. Like most of the religious buildings of this size, Saint Paul's has undergone various refurbishments and reconstructions since it was first built in around 1230 - the last addition was an additional floor in the tower in the 19th century which is an imitation of that of Saint-Lambert. The Treasury in the 15th century cloisters houses many treasures including the famous "Reliquary of Charles the Bold" (around 1467), the famous bust-reliquary of Saint-Lambert (around 1512) and the Meuse ivory of the Three Resurrections. Its collections of textiles (shroud of Saint-Lambert, liturgical ornaments) are remarkable. The Treasury suggests an art and history route on the ancient Episcopal Principality of Liège.

    COLLEGIATE CHURCH OF SAINT-BARTHELEMY AND THE BAPTISMAL FONTS
    © O.T. Liege - Marc Verpoorten
    Not unlike Saint-Denis and Saint-Martin, the architecture of Saint-Barthélemy reflects the fact that it once played an important part in the city's defences. It is the oldest religious construction in Liège, the exterior dating back to the 12th century - the interior was completely changed at the beginning of the 18th century. The church has fantastic bronze baptismal fonts, which date back to 1118 and were originally installed in Notre-Dame-aux-Fonts, a little church joined to Saint-Lambert Cathedral, which was destroyed in 1794 by French revolutionaries. These fonts are an artistic masterpiece of plate.
