Mount Saint Peter
View on the 1702 Saint Peter Fortress and a glimpse of Maastricht skyline.
This monumental fortress is built on top of Saint Peter Mountain and was visited by Peter the Great in 1717.
In the Flemish part of Mount Saint Peter archaeological evidence of an Iron Age fortress has been found, one of the strongest contenders for being identified as the fortress Atuatuca of the Eburones, playing an important role in Julius Caesar's commentaries on his wars in Gaul.
