The fortified city

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".
See more pictures in the general travelogue.

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.
