The city ' s name means the " city (at border) of roads " , which underlines its strategic location in the centre of Europe. Strasbourg, founded back in Romans, has always played an important role in European history -- in the Middle Ages, the city has been the pre-eminent centre of commerce, and in the revival era, science and art have been actively developed.
