Metz (French pronunciation: [m?s] ( listen); German pronunciation: [m?ts] ( listen)) is a city in the northeast of France located at the confluence of the Moselle and the Seille rivers. Metz is the capital and the prefecture of both the Lorraine region and the Moselle department.^[1][2][3][4] Located near the tripoint along the junction of France, Germany, and Luxembourg,^[5] Metz forms a central place of the European Greater Region and the SaarLorLux euroregion.^[6]

A Celtic oppidum,^[7] an important Gallo-Roman city,^[8] the Merovingian capital of the Austrasia kingdom,^[9] the birthplace of the Carolingian dynasty,^[10] a cradle of the Gregorian chant,^[11] and one of the oldest republics of the common era in Europe,^[12] Metz has a rich 3,000-year-history.^[13] The city has been steeped in Romance culture, but has been strongly influenced by Germanic culture due to its location and history.^[14]

Metz possesses one of the largest Urban Conservation Areas in France,^[15] and more than 100 buildings of the city are classified on the Monument Historique list.^[16] Because of its historical and cultural background, Metz benefits from its designation as French Town of Art and History.^[17][18] The city features noteworthy buildings such as the Gothic Saint-Stephen Cathedral,^[19][20] the Basilica of Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains,^[21] its Station Palace,^[22] or its Opera House, the oldest one working in France.^[23] Metz is home to some world-class venues including the Arsenal Concert Hall and the Centre Pompidou-Metz museum.

A basin of urban ecology,^[24][25] Metz gained its nickname of Green City (French: La Ville Verte),^[26] as it has extensive open grounds and public gardens. The historic downtown is one of the largest commercial pedestrian areas in France.^[27][28][29]

A historic garrison town, Metz is the economic heart of the Lorraine region, being specialized in information technology and automotive industries. Metz is home to the University of Lorraine and a centre for applied research and development in the materials sector, notably in metallurgy and metallography,^[30] the heritage of the Lorraine region's past in the iron and steel industry.^[31]
