Luxembourg

Luxembourg has served as a fortified seat of power in the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys since the 10th century. Count Siegfried established a castle on the Bock promontory in 963, beginning the stronghold that later earned the city the name “Gibraltar of the North.” Its Old Quarters and Fortifications are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while the Corniche follows the edge of the old town above the Alzette. Beyond the ramparts, Luxembourg is the capital and administrative centre of the Grand Duchy, with European Union institutions in Kirchberg.
