Hoje estive em Haia. É a única cidade neerlandesa que me faz lembrar Lisboa, pelos lindos edifícios do século XIX, pelos exemplares de Arte Nova (lembro-me logo das nossas Avenidas Novas), pelos eléctricos, pelas avenidas largas...
Hoje fui a muitos locais, o que sempre acontece quando vou a Haia...
Ficam alguns registos desta cidade que gosto muito...
De Passage
" De Passage was built between 1882 and 1885. The three covered streets Spuistraat, Buitenhof and Hofweg converge in a rotunda with a skylight, a mix of neo-Renaissance and expressionist styles. " (http://www.holland.com/global/destinations/thehague/shopping/passage.jsp)
Mauritshuis...
onde está o quadro Rapariga com Brinco de Pérola...e que hoje, vi pela primeira vez, sem estar à espera. Um quadro que sempre desejei ver. Vermeer é um dos meus pintores preferidos e fiquei-me por ali, a admirar a obra, e depois a Vista de Delft, que tambem adoro. :-)
"The Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis (English: "Maurice House") is an art museum in The Hague, the Netherlands. Previously the residence of count John Maurice of Nassau, it now has a large art collection, including paintings by Dutch painters such as Johannes Vermeer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan Steen, Paulus Potter and Frans Hals and works of the German painter Hans Holbein the Younger."
(From Wikipedia)
Este museu, cuja atmosfera me lembra o nosso Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, fica ao pé do Binnenhof.
"The Binnenhof (Dutch, literally "inner court"), is a complex of buildings in The Hague. It has been the location of meetings of the Staten-Generaal, the Dutch parliament, since 1446, and has been the centre of Dutch politics for many centuries."
(From Wikipedia)
Haia, a cidade onde a Coroa está sempre muito presente...;)
The Prison Gate
A coroa é diferente porque e uma coroa condal. É a coroa do Conde da Holanda, a cuja figura o edifício esta associado.
"Early 15th century the Prison Gate, the main gate to the Binnenhof, is used as a prison by the Count of Holland. A century later the Court of Holland extends the gate with a court for criminal law. Since then suspects were not only detained in the Prison Gate awaiting their trial, but were tried there as well. Only as late as the 19th century the last prisoner was released and the Prison Gate became a museum."

....
"The Hague is the seat of government, but not the capital of the Netherlands, a role set aside by the Dutch constitution for Amsterdam.
The Hague is the home of the States-General of the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands lives and works in The Hague. All foreign embassies and government ministries are located in the city, as well as the Hoge Raad der Nederlanden (Supreme Court), the Raad van State (Council of State) and many lobbying organisations.
The Hague is also the de facto judicial capital of the United Nations, being the location of its primary judicial institutions."

Hoje o dia foi particularmente bonito e positivo :-) um conjunto de pequenas coisas, aqui e ali...I bought a ticket to the world..., como diriam os Spandau Ballet, em True...
(Já vos tinha dito que gosto muito de ouvir Spandau Ballet e Lisa Ekdahl quando viajo de comboio? Não tinha dito, pois não? :-)
Lisa Ekdahl, Daybreak
Boa Semana! :-)
