A bold tribute to the City of Bridges and Fortress on the Alzette and Petrusse where Luxembourg City, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and one of the three official capitals of the European Union alongside Brussels and Strasbourg, is built on a spectacular dramatic site where the old town and its massive fortress perch on a sandstone promontory above the deep gorges of the Alzette and Petrusse rivers, crossed by a series of elegant viaducts and bridges that give the city its distinctive character and earned it the nickname the Gibraltar of the North for the impregnability of its medieval fortifications, where the Bock promontory with its 23 kilometres of underground casemates carved into the sandstone cliff and the ramparts of the Corniche walkway offering panoramic views across the Alzette valley create one of the most dramatic fortress cities in Europe, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for the outstanding universal value of its remaining fortifications and old town, and where Luxembourg City's role as a founding member and institutional capital of the European project and the seat of the European Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, and the Secretariat of the European Parliament reflects the extraordinary influence this small nation has wielded in shaping modern European governance.
