For many centuries Luxembourg was one of the great walled cities of Europe. The massive fortification began in the 12th century although excavations show the area had been settled since the 4th century. The walls were enlarged yet more in the 15th through the 17th centuries, thus earning it the name The Gibraltar of the North. There are still a number of casemates remaining underground but sadly they were not open when we were there. We hope to return someday with more of the little ones. It truly was a fairy tale city.
Your photography is mesmerizing!
