Liège

Liege is a major city in the Walloon region of Belgium in the valley of the Meuse River near the eastern borders with the Netherlands and Germany.
Its strategic position made it a target of armies and it was fortified with a castle on the steep hill overlooking the city. The first prince-bishop, Notger, transformed the city into a intellectual and ecclesiastical centre, with major cultural importance during the Middle Ages.
The end of the prince-bishopric came in 1801 with the Concordat signed by Napoléon Bonaparte.
Later Liege developed into a major steel-making centre and, although now in decline, production of steel and steel goods remains a key part of the economy. Other industries include chemical, textiles, paper, and weapons production. The city has a population of around 200,000 and is an important centre of education with more than 40,000 students.
