	Vermeer's Neighborhood
		His two portraits of Delft, the majestic View of Delft, a hymn to civic pride and nature, and the humble Little Street which narrates the intimate life as seen from across and inner-city canal, are tangible proof.

	Images of Delft
		Delft was the third city of Holland to receive a municipal charter in 1246, and it remained in the forefront of Dutch history for several centuries.
		In fact, a plan of Delft, published in 1648 by the map maker Willem Blaeu, so detailed that it shows Vermeer's house, is accurate enough to be used far a walk today.
		The center of old Delft is the market, which is shown as a white oblong in the middle of Blaeu's plan, The market square is not particularly large, but it is dramatic because it is the only wide-open, ornamental mental space within a medieval huddle of houses.

	Delft Tourist Information and Travel Guide - Europe for Visitors
		Still, you needn't be a dinnerware fan to enjoy Delft, which flourished as the 17th Century headquarters of the Dutch East India Company and was home to one of Holland's greatest painters, Jan Vermeer.
		But the greatest attraction of Delft is the town itself--or at least the historic city center, which is crammed with 17th and 18th Century houses, streets that overlook canals, magnificent public buildings, outdoor markets, and a surprising number of museums for a city that has less population than many American suburbs.
		The Delft railway station is just southwest of the city center; turn left and head north as you leave the station, then turn right at the first major intesection (Binnen Water Sloot) and walk several blocks east toward the Nieuwe Kerk.

	Delft in Johannes Vermeer's Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Delft, however secluded her situation might appear, was in reality a town full of life and business.
		Delft, like that of all other Dutch places, was dominated by its towers: the Oude and the Nieuwe Kerk, together with many smaller spires of the earlier monasteries and chapels, gave the town her prickly silhouette.
		This revered leader chose Delft over The Hague because its darkly weathered city walls and fortresslike gates offered the illusion of safety in that troubled time, an illusion that was tragically shattered in 1584 when he was felled by an assassin's bullet in his residence, the Prinsenhof.
