The Treaty of London of 11 May 1867 marked a decisive turning point: the Grand Duchy was declared a neutral and independent state.

Supported by renowned urban planners and architects from abroad, the former fortified city gradually transformed into a modern capital, open to the world and the future.

Merchants and industrialists, as well as political and religious exiles, actively contributed to this transformation. Together, they helped shape the identity of a country whose prosperity is built on cooperation among all its residents.

During this guided tour, discover this story on site: explore the evolution of places, monuments, engineering works, and both public and private buildings that bear witness to this remarkable transformation.
