This is the new web site on Leiden, one of the most picturesque and yet unknown cities in The Netherlands. Did you know, for instance, that Rembrandt van Rijn, the famous painter, was born here? Or that the country's oldest university has been here since 1575? Or that the oldest botanical gardens in Europe can be found here? Or that the Romans have been in Leiden?
