Grande Île, Strasbourg, Medieval island district in Strasbourg, France
The Grande Île forms Strasbourg's central district, surrounded by the Ill River and the Canal du Faux-Rempart, spanning 1.25 kilometers in length.
The site evolved from a Roman settlement named Argentoratum to become the first entire city center designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988.
The district contains multiple religious structures, including the Strasbourg Cathedral, Saint-Thomas Church, and numerous Renaissance timber-framed houses representing regional architecture.
Visitors can access the district through multiple bridges and explore its network of streets containing shops, restaurants, and museums on foot or by tram.
The district's preserved medieval urban layout includes the Palais Rohan, historic mansions, and the western quarter of Petite France where tanners worked.
