The Garrison City on the Meuse, 1770
Maastricht in 1770 is a prosperous, double‑ruled fortress city where church bells compete with drum calls and soldiers are as visible as merchants. The walk will move from the river approach and the old stone bridge through the market and ecclesiastical heart to the ramparts, quays and glacis where barges, mills and garrison life shape the streets.
25 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Maastricht as it stood in 1770 (“Maastricht”).
