Domplein, a square in front of the Cathedral church in Utrecht. The site was located directly on a ford in the river Rhine, where the Romans founded a castellum (fortress) (Traiectum, literally "crossing point") to guard this crossing, but also to protect the other river. The site of the former castle was largely built up during the Middle Ages and there was no square at that time. (previous | next | back to album | 2020:10:03 12:12:34 | 94% of an album)
