Statue of Stanislaus I, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania at Place Stanislas in Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle), France
Place Stanislas is a large pedestrianised square in the French city of Nancy, in the Lorraine historic region. Built between 1752 and 1756 on the orders of Stanislaw Leszczynski, the square is one of oldest examples of an architecturally consistent and monumental public square, and is an excellent example of 18th-century urban architecture. Since 1983, the architectural ensemble comprising Place Stanislas, the extension of its axis, the Place de la Carriere and the Place d'Alliance, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
