About Luxembourg City
Luxembourg City is the capital of the Grand Duchy, a hilltop fortress city of deep gorges, old ramparts and European institutions.
Luxembourg City stands on a rocky plateau cut by the gorges of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, and its old quarters and fortifications are a World Heritage Site. The Bock Promontory, with tunnels and casemates carved into the rock, was first fortified in 963, and the Corniche promenade follows the old ramparts above the Grund, the old lower town. The Grand Ducal Palace stands in the old town, and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame was begun by the Jesuits in the early seventeenth century.
