    There are tables and chairs for relaxing, as well as information boards about the history of the town and the statue. The statue was erected in 1887 in memory of Eudes de Châtillon who became Pope Urban II in 1088.

      The pope known as Pope URBAN II was born here around the year 1035. The versions of his name that are circulating are Odon de Lagery, also: Eudes de Châtillon, Otton de Châtillon. He joined the Benedictine Order named after Benedict of Nursia (OSB for the Latin "Ordo Sancti Benedicti") and became prior of the very important Cluny Abbey. In the year of our Lord 1088 he was elected pope and took the name URBAN II.

      As the supreme shepherd of the Roman Catholic Church, he supported the Reconquista in Spain and the first crusade in support of Byzantium. His theological justification was based on the second chapter of the Old Testament book of Daniel, where a turning point is described.

      He died in 1099. His memorial day in the calendar of saints is July 29, the recorded date of his death.
