Delft in Pictures

Ah, Delft. A small little town just south of The Hague with charming canals. It is home to the painter - Vermeer, the father of international law - Hugo Grotius, William Prince of Orange (who later became King William III of England and married Mary Stuart), and Delft pottery (which was a painting style that blended the styles painted on porcelain from China with European styles and became popular when the Chinese porcelain became unavailable after the death of Chinese emperor Wanli in the 17th Century).

The town is only 10 km from The Hague and makes for a great little day trip.
