While its history was filled with tales of war and conflict with its neighbours, it now forms a ‘Euregia’ area together with Aachen (Germany) and Liege (Belgium), making it a showpiece for the unification process of the EU. Maastricht has a fine Old Town and is also the home of the Netherlands Architecture Institute Maastricht, a Euroreginal Centre for architecture and design.
