Thus, the population structure reflects the demographic development of Luxembourg City quite well. Despite its close proximity to the Old Town, the cultural history of the Cents quarter is almost unexplored.From a former Carmelite monastery to a cemetery where society's outcasts were once buried and a "new" railway station, Cents offers a number of largely unknown cultural attractions.Discover Luxembourg's urban history off the beaten track of the fortress!
