An afternoon in Bergen op Zoom

by myriam_c - last update: Mar 2, 2003

The fortified city

City gate
<font face=verdana color=darkgreen size=3>The Great War, the wars against England, the French Revolution, ... all these turbulent times had their influence on the culture and the cultural-historical inheritance of Bergen op Zoom.
This city gate is one of the remainders of the fortification. So is the rampart at the Ravelijn "Op den Zoom".

Statues reminding of Carnival

Carnival

<font face=verdana color=darkgreen size=3>Carnival is very important for Bergen op Zoom. They start in November already with the first parades and they last until the real carnaval time, 6 weeks before Easter. Then Bergen op Zoom parties for a whole week.

Parks in Bergen op Zoom

<font face=verdana color=darkgreen size=3>Bergen op Zoom has a large amount of 'green'. On one side there is the city park ; on the other side the "Ravelijn op den Zoom".
