Also called "the most beautiful balcony of Europe", it
runs along the Alzette valley on the ramparts - built by
the Spaniards and the French in the 17th century - from
the Bock Promontory up to the lower part of the Holy Ghost
Citadel, the so-called "Rondellen". Up to the year 1870
the Corniche had staircases in steep parts which were levelled
off only after the dismantling of the fortress. Moreover
the greatest part of the protecting wall with its loopholes
was cleared away so as to disclose a superb panorama on
the valley of the Alzette, the city district of Grund and
the Rham Plateau.
