Leiden, the unknown treasure

by carolineraat - last update: Sep 15, 2005

Monuments and more

Leiden is my home town. I live here for 15 years now and I love it very much. It's close to Amsterdam, so come and see it!

The historical city of Leiden is the second largest in The Netherlands, after Amsterdam. It consists of many streets, canals and squares, surrounded by old houses, churches and other monuments.

Some time ago, Tomt and filipdebont came to see me in Leiden. You can see the results in their pages! And only a few weeks ago, Manena from Indonesia payed a visit to this city that also has strong historical links with Indonesia and Japan.

And this is the address of my huge external Leiden site:

www.leiden.00freehost.com

On that site, you will see all my pictures with descriptions of the city!

Leiden not only plays an important role in dutch history, but also in American!

The famous Pilgrim Fathers lived for some years in Leiden, where they got shelter and freedom of religion. From here, they set sail for America in their ship, the Mayflower. A monument and a museum are devoted to the pilgrims.

 hallo Caroline, Leiden de rug toegekeerd? Ik ben benieuwd naar je Alkmaar pagina. Veel succes met je bedrijf en ook met de nieuwe tuin.
