About Breda NL:
"Breda is a Dutch city in the west of the province of North Brabant. Breda has traditionally been the main city of West Brabant. It was the capital of the Barony of Breda, which also included Roosendaal, Etten-Leur and Oosterhout. The city itself is the core of the municipality of the same name, which had 184,064 inhabitants as of 1 July 2021, making it the third largest municipality in North Brabant and the ninth largest in the Netherlands.
The city was an important garrison and fortified town for centuries and still plays a visible role within the Dutch armed forces due to the presence of the Royal Military Academy (KMA) and the headquarters of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. It has been the seat of the diocese of the same name since 1853. The presence at first of the court of the Lords of Breda, but later also of facilities such as the Court, Chamber of Commerce and the Diocese have ensured that Breda has traditionally been the political, administrative and religious-administrative heart of West Brabant. The city has traditionally also had a lot of trade and industry. It is located at a junction of waterways, railways and highways."
