Starting the update on places visited in the last 2 months I'll start with Namur (Or Namen in Dutch).
Namur it's a town in the southern part of Belgium (you can check it's location in Google Maps), it started as a celtic trading settlement, then was an important Roman post, then it developed as it's own county.
It was cut in half as the northern part of the River Meuse belonged to the Counts of Namur and the other side belonged to the Bishops of Liege. It felt to the hands of the Count of Flanders in 1262 and was purchased by Burgundy in 1421.
It was part of the Spanish-Netherlands in the 1640s, and was invaded by the French in 1692. After that it was owned by the Dutch, Austrians, France once again and finally what is now Belgium.
Each of these changes left its marks on the city and it's definitely worth a while to go and pay a visit to it if you are in town. Here are some pictures of the citadel and city.
