Place des Martyrs, Luxembourg

The square lies to the south of the Pétrusse valley, in the quarter of Gare.

[1] Along its north-eastern side runs the Avenue de la Liberté, one of Luxembourg City's main thoroughfares.

The former headquarters of ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, were located on the Place des Martyrs, across the Avenue de la Liberté.

The square was laid out in the 1920s, after the German occupation of the First World War.

[1] Three radial paths run through the square, meeting at a point in front of the Arcelor headquarters, where a work by the British sculptor Henry Moore, depicting a mother and child, provides a focus.
