This is the Ville Basse du Grand (Grund Lower Town) in Luxembourg. The buildings date from the 14th century. In the Middle Ages this a district where tanners, shoemakers and brewers lived and worked in safety as there is a walled underground fortress surrounding it. A large part of the town was destroyed by the French in the 17th century but was later rebuilt.
You can see the spire from the Church in the previous image and also the new part of Luxembourg in the far background.
