Netherlands(North Brabant) - Breda

Breda is a municipality and a city in the southern part of the Netherlands. The name Breda derived from brede Aa ('wide Aa') and refers to the confluence of the rivers Mark and Aa. As a fortified city, the city was of strategic military and political significance. Although a direct Fiefdom of theHoly Roman Emperor, the city obtained a municipal charter; the acquisition of Breda, through marriage, by the house of Nassau ensured that Breda would be at the center of political and social life in the Low Countries.

Spanjaardsgat is a water gate that lies between the Garnet Tower and Duiventoren of Breda Castle in the center of Breda  Built around 1530.
