English Delft Travel Guide & History | Built by Disaster
Delft, in the Netherlands, is still defined by canals, blue-and-white pottery and the light Vermeer painted, the things to see on any visit. Its history took a dramatic turn in 1584, when William of Orange was assassinated in the Prinsenhof; the bullet holes are still visible in the wall today.
