Zwolle City Wall

Zwolle (2010 population: 120.000), a former member of the Hanseatic League, has some parts of their city walls beautifully restored. Zwolle is located 50 miles northeast of Amersfoort.

  3. I'm often reminded, when reading your blog, of the chaotic nature of European history - also the wonderful variety of architecture.
