Visiting a Medieval Courtyard

Its not just about shopping. One could experience the rich European history as well which always give me the great suprise how advanced the society and political system were hundreds of years ago here.

Compare that to back home, we can only be proud of out Kampung Ayer (although a bit neglected now) and a hundred year of Bandar history. May be European history should be made an additional subject rather than just the local history.

This enclosed courtyard is again in Buitenhof where you will find yourself surrounded by architecture from the 13th up to the 19th century, with the normal crowd sitting around enjoying the sun.
