Explanation:

- The context requires a word that fits with "for six hundred years," implying something that has been continuously in a certain state over that long period.

- Option 1: established - Typically refers to something set up or founded, but not necessarily maintained without change for such an extended time.

- Option 2: stood - Implies something remains in position or condition over time. This fits the idea of a town that has "stood" the test of time.

- Option 3: erected - Usually refers to the act of building or constructing something initially, not its continued existence.

- Option 4: edified - Means to instruct or improve someone intellectually or morally, not suitable for a physical state of existence.
