Breda

This city in the year 1590 had a strategic interest, both militarily and politically. It was conquered by the Spanish, during the reign of Philip II, but it was retaken by the Dutch on the evening of March 4th. Maurice of Nassau took the city with an army of 90 men who managed to scare away the Italian soldiers.

Since my grandfather was born there, I went on my first trip to Holland for a wedding. In the Grote Kerk, they baptized my grandfather, it was spectacular to walk through there and to forget the other beautiful places from north to south we saw Uffelte, Harderwijk. I'll go back!
