Luxembourg

Fortress city founded around Count Siegfried's castle Lucilinburhuc, developed over nine centuries by successive European powers (Burgundy, Habsburg, French, Spanish, Prussian) into one of Europe's strongest fortified sites, with the 17km rock-cut Casemates of the Bock still preserved beneath the old town.
