The Hague: From Antiquity to Modernity

I invite you to The Hague – the actual capital of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, where ancient monuments with amazing taste are combined with skyscrapers. Palaces and castle, royal streets and courtyards - all these are scenery, against the background of which there were many exciting stories. I'll tell you:

• about the mysterious murder of the favorite of the ruler of Holland and his terrible revenge;
• A love for the luxury of a Russian princess and the simple lifestyle of her Dutch husband.
• About the prisoners of a dark medieval prison and much more.

You will learn how the Hague has changed over the centuries:

• about a natural pond, which eventually received a geometric shape;
• about the majestic hall for count's feasts, which has become a seat of parliament;
• about skyscrapers with funny nicknames.

I'm going to talk about what the architect king built and what happened. It was also possible to find a suitable candidate for marriage.
