Introduction
Constitution Square is a famous attraction located on the edge of the ravine in the old town area of Luxembourg City. From the square, visitors can overlook the whole city area and the Adolphe Bridge with the most striking being the Gëlle Fra Monument, which is located on the square. The monument is 12 meters high and topped by a gilded figure of a girl symbolizing freedom and resistance. It was designed and constructed by local artist Claus in 1923 to commemorate the Luxembourg soldiers who died in World War I. The monument was damaged during the war but was restored in 1984. Because of the gold Victory Goddess statue above it, the monument is also known as the Golden Lady Monument and was featured at the Shanghai Expo. Therefore, the square is often referred to as the Little Golden Man Square by Chinese tourists. The underground entrances to the Betriels Battery and the Bech Battery are located in the two corners of the square, with the opposite being the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
