Known as Augusta Viromanduorum, Saint-Quentin was the capital of the Celtic Viromanduians in Gallia Belgica during Roman times. It is said to have received its current name from Saint Quintin, who, according to tradition, was martyred here while preaching Christianity in 287 AD. The martyr's remains are said to have been transferred to Saint-Quentin in 825. From the 4th to the 6th century, Saint-Quentin was a bishopric. In the early Middle Ages, it developed into an important place of pilgrimage. (Wikipedia)

"The town hall of Saint-Quentin (Aisne) is one of the most beautiful examples of civil architecture from the Late Middle Ages of Picardy. It is believed to be the work of Colard Noël, a Valenciennes architect who worked on the neighboring construction site of the basilica of Saint-Quentin, a symbol of communal freedoms, its architecture reveals a certain Flemish influence." (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hôtel_de_ville_de_Saint-Quentin)
