Avenue de la Liberte, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

The Place des Martyrs is a garden square in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The square lies to the south of the Pétrusse valley, in the quarter of Gare. It is colloquially known as the Rose Garden , on account of the red roses that dominate the garden's floriculture.Along its north-eastern side runs the Avenue de la Liberté, one of Luxembourg City's main thoroughfares.
