Today, you can still feel, taste and experience this multi-cultural touch everywhere.</p> <p>The streets are full of reminders that Maastricht once served as a Roman post, a&nbsp;city of&nbsp;pilgrimage, a medieval fortified, military&nbsp;city to a handcrafts centre where the Dutch&nbsp;Industrial&nbsp;Revelotion began.&nbsp;&nbsp;The city it is today has a lot of remains proving and showing these developments.</p> admin Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:57:02 +0100
