Luxembourg - Place de la Constitution by Mark Sukhija

By: Mark Sukhija

From the Place de la Constitution there is a fantastic view of the the Pétrusse Valley and the Adolphe Bridge that spans it. At the Place de la Constitution, you're also right on top of the Pétrusse Casemates at a height of 27 meters above the floor of the valley. The Monument du Souvenir (Remembrance Monument) in the centre of the square sports a gold-plated figure atop an obelisk. The monument is a memorial to those who died in Luxembourg's wars and was initially erected in 1923. Having been destroyed the Nazis in 1940, the monument was reconstructed in 1958 and completed in its original form in 1985.
