    • Source: Old City of Luxembourg

      • The Old City of Luxembourg (officially City of Luxembourg: its Old Quarters and Fortifications) is located mainly in Ville Haute (Uewerstad) in Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1994. The origin of the city was a fort built in the 10th century and had to be demolished in most parts in the 19th century (the casemates, the bastion and some walls still exist partly). The early town (which is now the historical city) has been established in the 12th century.
      Highlights are Grand Ducal Palace, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Adolphe Bridge, Dräi Tierm, Pont du Château, Chemin de la Corniche, and Bock casemates.
      The Ministry of Culture, Department of National Sites and Monuments is responsible for the preservation of the sites (with a partnership of the Luxembourg Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO which was founded in 1949).
