The Pillars of Nations, facing the European Centre, are the work of the architect François Valentiny. The first column was erected in 2010, two in 2014. They measure about nine meters tall and wearing bronze stars that symbolize the current countries of the Schengen area. The locations are left free to receive the stars of the countries joining the European space in the future.
