Explora el fascinante pasado de Strasbourg y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Strasbourg's origins date back to Roman times, when it was founded as Argentoratum in the 1st century BC. Its strategic location at the confluence of the Rhine and Ill rivers made it an important commercial and military point. During the Middle Ages, Strasbourg prospered as an imperial free city within the Holy Roman Empire, developing an economy based on river and craft trade, and building iconic monuments such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral with its famous astronomical clock.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Strasbourg was an intellectual and cultural center, noted for its pioneering printing press and prestigious university. The city underwent multiple changes of sovereignty between France and Germany, reflecting the complex Franco-German history of Alsace. During this period, neighborhoods such as Petite France, home to craft guilds, were consolidated and defensive infrastructures such as the Ponts Couverts and the Vauban Dam were built to protect the city from invasion.
After the Second World War, Strasbourg became a symbol of European reconciliation, hosting institutions such as the European Parliament, the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights. The city has experienced significant urban and cultural growth, maintaining its historical heritage while modernizing with prestigious universities, a vibrant student life and international events such as its famous Christmas markets that attract millions of visitors.
