Esch-sur-Alzette, Industrial municipality in southern Luxembourg.
Esch-sur-Alzette stretches along the Alzette River valley, featuring a mix of modern developments and preserved industrial structures across its urban landscape.
The transformation from a farming village began in the 1850s when iron ore deposits were discovered, leading to rapid industrialization and population growth.
The city received recognition as European Capital of Culture in 2022, offering multiple theaters, music venues, and artistic spaces throughout its districts.
The Belval district contains the University of Luxembourg campus, research facilities, shopping centers, and entertainment venues within walking distance of public transport.
Former industrial sites, including steel mills and blast furnaces, have been converted into contemporary spaces while maintaining their original architectural elements.
