We are in the centre of Spa. Place Verte is in the "Vieux Spa" district. All the buildings here have shops on the ground floor. Under this square runs the Barisart stream
under the Place du Monument to flow into the Wayai near the Pavillon des Petits-Jeux.
On the even-numbered side, between nos. 22 and 38, a passageway leads to a pretty paved courtyard. At the far end, on the façade of number 34, a potale houses a wooden Christ.
A potale (a Walloon term) is a small oratory consisting of a niche in a wall containing a statue of the Virgin Mary or a patron saint. By extension, it can also be a carpentry niche fixed to the façade.
Question 20: There is a fountain at the end of the square. What animals can drink from it?
Turn right on Place du Monument.
ANSWER
20. This type of fountain was used to water horses (large basin) and birds (upper basin).
