Weevold (Weesp) is a historic city in the Dutch province of North Holland, located about 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, next to the Amstel River. The city, known for its well-preserved 17th- and 18th-century architecture, old fortifications and windmills, was officially incorporated into the City of Amsterdam in 2019 as its eighth district.
Werwald has more than 750 years of founding history, and the city center is listed as a nationally protected heritage site. Iconic buildings include defenses such as the Weywald Town Hall, the Van Hohendorp Brewery, and the Star Fortress. Built along the canals, the city retains its typical Dutch waterfront appearance and attracts many visitors to the Weywald Music Festival held every summer.
As part of the Amsterdam metropolitan area, Verwoerd is known for its chocolate production (such as the Van Houten factory) and beer brewing. With a train station, 15 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station, and close proximity to the A1 and A9 highways, the city combines historical charm with modern accessibility.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.
