This is the historical center of Strasbourg. Its name means "Big Island" and comes from the fact that it is surrounded on one side by the main course of the Il River and on the other side by a canal. Strasbourg was the first city to have its entire center listed as a World Heritage Site, with 22 copper plaques commemorating it. At its center is Place Kl? ber, the central square of the city. Further south is Strasbourg Cathedral, the fourth tallest church in the world and an ornate example of 15th-century Gothic architecture.→
