Place de la Constitution

5.5
4.1/5
55 reviews
Place de la Constitution is built on the foundation of the former "Beck Fortress," adjacent to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame on one side, and overlooks the Vallée de la Pétrusse from the railing on the other. The heart of the square is the "Monument of Remembrance," completed in 1923 to commemorate the thousands of Luxembourgers who volunteered to fight in the Allied armies during World War I. At the top of the over 20 m high granite obelisk stands a gilded statue of the Goddess of Victory, created by local sculptor Claus Cito, with her arms outstretched holding a laurel wreath. Below the base, two bronze soldier statues—one lying down and one sitting—depict a scene of sacrifice and mourning. Locals call it the "Golden Lady," and many Chinese tourists also call this place "Little Golden Person Square." During World War II, the monument was dismantled by occupying forces, and the golden statue was hidden under the stands of the national football stadium. It was not rediscovered until 1981, and after being restored and rebuilt in 1984–1985, the victims of World War II were added to those commemorated. Looking out from the railing, the sight of the Adolphe Bridge spanning the valley complements the spires of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. The underground fortifications of the former fortress remain within the rock walls beneath the square, allowing you to connect the valley trail and the Old Town loop for a combined visit.Luxembourg City · 22.9km from Schengen

The Petros Canyon, also known as the Luxembourg Grand Canyon, is one of the world's famous scenic spots. It is about 100 meters wide and 60 meters deep, naturally dividing Luxembourg City into two urban areas, the new and old areas in the north and south. Constitution Square is the best place to view the Grand Canyon and the scenery on both sides. Opposite the Grand Canyon, there is a palace-like building located in the green, which looks particularly magnificent. It is the Luxembourg National Savings Bank. At its north end is a tall pointed round bell tower, and on both sides are medieval buildings with only roofs visible.

The Adolphe Bridge, located in Luxembourg City, is a sturdy stone arch bridge spanning the Petrus Valley. Its greyish-white structure is quite substantial. Standing in the center, you can see the old town and treetops on both sides of the valley. Cars passing by in the adjacent lanes cause the bridge surface to vibrate slightly. Several walkways allow you to descend and admire the arches extending overhead. There's a viewing platform on the bridge, where tourists often lean against the railings to take photos. The bridge isn't very long, taking only a few minutes to walk across, but it's perfect for enjoying the scenery.

Located in the northeast of Luxembourg's old town, it is a little far from the city center. However, since it is a fortress, it is impossible to be in the city center. Fort Bourke was built in 1644 during the Spanish rule. It is the oldest relic in Luxembourg. It was once an important military defense fortress, but was later completely demolished, including the 17-kilometer artillery battery. Now only part of the ruins can be seen, but I personally think it is a very good scenic spot. It is located at a high place and you can see the beautiful Luxembourg Canyon scenery around it. You can also see the Alzette River. It is a good place to quietly enjoy the scenery.

The square has a long history, and it seems that almost every major event is celebrated or commemorated here. Some of the most exciting political rallies on earth have been held in the square. In the 1840s, the Communists and the right-wing government were engaged in a fierce struggle.

There is a walkway on the Burke Fortress, from which you can overlook the scenery of the old town below. The entire city can be seen in front of you at a glance. The scenery is very beautiful. Don't miss it when traveling to Luxembourg.
