Historic monument! The Place de l'Alliance is part of the 18th-century monumental ensemble inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. The works were directed by the king's first architect, Emmanuel Héré, who deployed for the ensemble of famous squares in Nancy the quintessence of his building art by materializing the link between the two existing cities, the medieval city and the city of Charles III (built in the 17th century). The fountain placed in its center is composed of a stone basin on which three old men representing rivers are leaning. Their shoulders support an entablature on which stands a triangular marble obelisk. Originally commissioned for the hemicycle of the Carrière, it was moved in 1756 and transformed in honor of the new alliance between the Bourbons and the Habsburg-Lorraines. On this occasion, a shield was added, inscribed with "perenne foedus, anno 1756" (perpetual alliance), to the genius crowning the obelisk.
