Liège Cathedral
This Roman Catholic cathedral serves as the seat of the Diocese of Liège. Originally established in the 10th century and reconstructed between the 13th and 15th centuries, it became the primary cathedral of the city after the destruction of the Cathedral of St. Lambert. Visitors go here to see the Gothic architecture and the historical religious art housed within the structure.
