Trees in front of the City Hall.
(some information about the city hall.)

?In 1656 the Magistrature, as the city council was then called, commissioned the Hague architect Pieter Post (1608 - 1669) to draw up a budget and produce a wooden maquette of a new town hall. Post was a leading architect in the sober classical style of North and South Holland; it was a style that the 'Hollander' rulers in Maastricht prized very highly. Post's work owes its power mainly to the system of measurements that he adhered to consistently. They were geometrical proportions based on Euclid and which had previously been adopted by Italian master builders such as Palladio and Serlio. Post applied these Renaissance measurements both in his facades and ground plans.
