History & Heritage

History and heritage of Strasbourg

Strasbourg grew from the Roman camp of Argentoratum into a powerful Rhine trading city, then became a crossroads of French and German culture. Its UNESCO-listed Grande Île, Gothic cathedral and half-timbered Alsatian lanes make the city one of Europe's most atmospheric historic centers.
