Place Stanislas built by architect Emmanuel Era in 1751-1775. and is included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Her client acted Duke Stanislas Leszczynski, former king of Poland and father in law of Louis XV. He received these lands in management in 1737, in connection with the accession to the Lorraine Frantsii.Leschinsky invested in equipping the area a lot of their money. For example, he sponsored the installation of four-meter royal statue, cast in bronze, with a pedestal decorated with allegorical figures, which subsequently - in the revolution - was destroyed. Now in its place stands a statue of Stanislas, cast in bronze in the 1820s. The area was built in record time - just three and a half years. On the 250th anniversary of the discovery of the area it was reconstructed and have made pedestrian and paved, as in the days Stanislava.Vsya this automotive beauty that in the photo, is now over: the square can not park in 1983.
