Leiden, Medieval Town Hall (panorama)

Additional info with this picture:

The medieval facade of the Town Hall of Leiden, the Netherlands, at night. Only the facade is still original, as the building completely burned down on 12 February 1929.

This panorama was made from 12 images (6 above, 6 below) in the evening of 4 March 2007. The horizontal angle of the panorama equals about 160 degrees. It was a difficult panorama to construct: the building is relatively large (some 100 yards wide and with a high tower) and bordering a relatively narrow street, which means you can not take real distance.

Hi, Lovely picture! But it is not a medieval cityhall, it was built in de the early Dutch Renaissance.

Hi Leydenensis,

You are right in this, as most historians let the medieval period end around 1500 while the cityhall is from 1600. Yet colloquially most people (non-historians) call this building "medieval" nevertheless.
