Description
Every city that is an old city has a Lombard street
This is one of the two in The Hague
There is the long and the short (lange en korte) Lombardstreet.
Lombards (Lommerds in Dutch) were very important for cities and their inhabitants. London has a Lombardstreet that is of the 16th century.. In the USA the Lombard street of San Fransicso is very famous.
Photo is Korte (short) Lombardstraat in Den Haag / The Hague. The Lombard, or Lommerd is the building on the left. The Lombardians (Italians) came to The Hague in 1637 AD. The current Lombardbuilding is 19th century.
The buildings on the right are 21st century !!
the buildings in street at the end of this one are 17th and 19th century
The large church tower is 15th century and the shorter one is a Cathlic church (1848).

What a fantastic photo Chris, and you are right about every city having a Lombard Street
Nice view!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cool capture!
Great shot and cool information
nice shot
I know that Buffalo, NY, has a Lombard Street, and I think the suburbs around the city all have one too. very interesting history of the street name! I love that you tell us the ages of the buildings. One can see how the city grew, or where it was rebuilt. One can see where buildings were added on, or squeezed in between others. I think you must be an excellent tour guide in the summer when you take your boats out.
This is realy a very pretty capture!
