Gouda city hall with flag and sunset The city is located in Central Holland and in the urban area the Randstad, roughly equidistant from Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague. Gouda has a regional function within the Green Heart, where it is the largest city and the second-largest municipality by population (after Alphen aan den Rijn). In terms of population, it is the 48th largest municipality in the Netherlands and the 12th largest in South Holland. Gouda lies at the confluence of the Gouwe and Hollandse IJssel rivers. Thanks in part to inland waterway navigation across these rivers, Gouda grew into an important city in the Middle Ages. In 1272, it was granted city rights and by the end of the Middle Ages, Gouda had grown to become the fifth largest city in Holland.[1] The city centre still boasts a large number of historic and monumental buildings, of which the Town Hall and St John's Church are probably the most famous. The city is also known for its Gouda cheese, which is traded at the Thursday tourist cheese market in summer. Finally, Gouda enjoys fame for its manufacture of beer, candles, pipes, Gouda china, syrup waffles and the annual Candle Evening.
