Leeuwarden - historic city and defense line.

Visitors may enjoy the Prinsentuin Park, without realising that they entered the remnants of Leeuwarden's ramparts. Observe the map of Leeuwarden and you will see that the historic inner city is characterized by its shape and surrounding canals. The city gates have disappeared, and the same goes for the majority of all ramparts. However, a variety of parks and buildings still refer to the city's former shape and defense.
