Image: view of the city Deventer from the opposite side of the river IJssel. Deventer is one of the oldest Dutch cities, which was founded around the year of 768 by the English missionary Lebuinus, who built a wooden church on the east bank of the river IJssel. The church did not last long and was burned by marauding Saxons 4 years later. Deventer became city rights in 956, after which fortifications were built around the city. On one of these strongholds the href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/294067/47395972">Bolwerksmolen was built. Due to its advantageous position along the IJssel the city was a flourishing trade centre between 1000 and 1500, because of its harbour. Around 1500 the city joined the Hanseatic League, which brought more wealth and prosperity. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, the river flow slowed and became shallow. This had a great effect on the level of trade that Deventer could conduct. At the same time trade was increasing in other areas of the Netherlands and this as well as the Eighty Years War played a role in the decline of the wealth of the city. In the 1800’s Deventer was the site of many industries starting up, such as an iron foundry, heavy machinery production, bicycle and can production as well as textile industries. During World War II, the port and industrial area were heavily damaged, although the old city came through the war largely unscathed. Nowadays Deventer still offers a great collection of heritage with for instance the oldest brick house, the oldest park and the oldest academic library of the Netherlands.

Il est construit au cours du Moyen Âge à côté d'un gué. La structure actuelle est une reconstruction de 1806, où le pont de grès et de marbre a reçu sa forme voûtée et ses cinq travées. Le gué est toujours là et permet de traverser à pied les eaux cristallines de la Vègre. THE OLD BRIDGE. It was built during the Middle Ages next to a ford. The current building is a reconstruction from 1806, where the sandstone and marble bridge received its arched shape and five spans. The ford is still there and makes it possible to cross the crystal clear waters of the Vègre on foot. DIE ALTE BRÜCKE. Sie wurde im Mittelalter neben einer Furt gebaut. Der heutige Bau ist eine Rekonstruktion aus dem Jahr 1806, wo die Sandstein- und Marmorbrücke ihre gewölbte Form und fünf Spannweiten erhalten hat. Die Furt ist noch da und ermöglicht es, das kristallklare Wasser der Vègre zu Fuss zu überqueren.

Braille??? *************************** Have a great Wednesday Let's HOPE for PEACE❤️

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarreled with him. Blaise Pascal Let's pray for PEACE! ************************************************************************************* In front of Santa Maria Maggiore, this column was the sole survivor of the eight marble columns which graced the Basilica of Maxentius in the Forum, completed by Constantine. It was set up on its base by the architect Carlo Maderno, nephew of Domenico Fontana: the fluted column was brought to the Esquilino hill and once erected was crowned with a statue of the Virgin.
