Maastricht

We took a day trip to Maastricht to see the statue of d'Artarnan.

St Servaas

The Romans built a bridge here; the current bridge was rebuilt in the same style.

Cathedral

Underneath the city (partially under the cathedral) are the ruins of the Roman city (destroyed around 278BC).

Helpoort

Natural History Museum

The natural history museum has the fossilized bones of `The Monster of Maastricht', a 17m long sea monster.

d'Artarnan

The real d'Artarnan died leading an attack of the French army on the city of Maastricht. A statue has been erected near the spot of his death.
