Syntagma Square

Place de la Constitution, on the edge of the gorge, is a great place to see the Grand Canyon of Luxembourg. Standing at the highest point of Syntagma Square, you can see two of the largest bridges, the Pont Adolphe and the Pont Grande Duchesse Charlotte, which hang over the valley and climb the cliffs to connect the old and new districts. The Monument to the Heroes of Syntagma Square was completed in 1923. It was to commemorate the 3,000 Luxembourg soldiers who died in World War I, and was rebuilt after the destruction of World War II, so it has a double significance. The monument is 12 meters high and features a statue of the Goddess of Victory by a local artist, Klaus. On the two corners of Syntagma Square are the underground entrances to The Fort of Betelius and the Fort of Baker, while opposite it is the Church of Our Lady.

Luxembourg Castle

The Luxembourg Castle has been baptized by war for a long time, and it is a place of great strategic significance for soldiers to fight for. It was built in 1644, expanded 40 years later by French engineers, and finally completed by the Austrians. Beneath the castle are more than 20 kilometers of tunnels, all carved out of hard rock. Among them, the defensive passage is built on different levels, extending down 40 meters, and the project is very large. Known as the "Gibraltar of the North", this defensive system was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

Vianden Castle

The castle is based on a fortress from the Roman era in the fourth century AD, and was expanded into a very famous castle in Europe during the Middle Ages in the 11th and 14th centuries. The castle first belonged to the family of the Count of Vianden, and from the size of the castle, it can be seen that the power of their family was very large at that time. In 1264 Vianden was transferred to the Count of Luxembourg, and in 1417 to the Nassau family. The Nassau family later became the royal family of the Netherlands, and their power expanded to the West, and it was no longer the palace of the earl. The castle fell into disrepair and was converted into a museum in 1977 after it was owned by the Luxembourg State.
