BREDA'S<br />
MANY SURPRISING<br />
FACETS<br />
Breda is situated in the province of Noord-Brabant<br />
in the southern part of the Netherlands.<br />
If you look at it from a broader perspective, Breda<br />
is centrally located in what is referred to as the<br />
'blue banana'. This is a zone that connects various<br />
European urban areas ranging from Birmingham<br />
in Great Britain to Milan in Italy. The zone is hugely<br />
attractive to trade and industry.<br />
It was there in Breda that aartsenfruit was founded<br />
in 1907 and where it grew big in the years that<br />
followed. We would like to tell you more about this<br />
city, because although Breda is not a world-famous<br />
city, it has a lot to offer.<br />
We will introduce you to aspects that define the<br />
city's character and are vital to its image: highlights<br />
from its storied history, noteworthy architecture<br />
and many popular events. In addition, we will use<br />
a timeline to summarise Breda's eventful history.<br />
