Heerlen, the beating heart of Parkstad Limburg. Or should we say Coriovallum? The history of Heerlen goes back to this Roman settlement around the year zero. Then a marketplace for agricultural products and pottery, now the heart of Parkstad Limburg, where there is always something new to discover. In the 20th century, the city derived its identity for a long time from the mining industry in the area. After the closure of the mines, Heerlen took a long time to regain its vibrant character. It is now a city of young and contemporary architecture, of urbanity and greenery. Artists leave their marks everywhere here. Go on a journey of discovery!
