Fortress of Luxembourg, Fortress in Luxembourg.
The Fortress of Luxembourg refers to the former fortifications of Luxembourg City, which were mostly dismantled in 1867.
Constructed gradually over several centuries, from as early as the tenth century up until the eighteenth century, it was a prized fortification and pivotal for various historical European conflicts.
It is now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list, emphasizing its impact on local culture and heritage.
Visitors can explore the remaining fragments of the fortress and the Bock Casemates, a complex of tunnels and galleries used in warfare.
Despite the major demolitions in 19th century, it's still one of the largest fortresses in Europe.
