Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utrecht is a central Dutch city with a long history. It's the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. The history of the city goes back to 47 AD when the Roman emperor Claudius ordered his general Corbulo to build a defensive line along the river Rhine which was the northern most border of the empire. One of the strongholds (or Castella) along the river was built at a crossing in the river and was called Traiectum (which means crossingplace). In the local language this became Trecht, Uut-Trecht (lower-Trecht) and later Utrecht. On the place where once the castellum stood now stands the Domchurch built in the 13th century.

Download or read book City of Luxembourg Luxembourg Wink Travel Guide written by Wink Travel Wink Travel Guide and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 25 pages.

Very different in character from the bustling metropoles of the continent, Luxembourg is defined by its mountainous location and spectacular elevations afforded by the deep and narrow valley of the rivers Alzette and Petrusse it was built upon.
