South Holland

South Holland spans from the North Sea coast to the Green Heart region, with networks of waterways, polders, and cities across 3,308 square kilometers.

The formal establishment of South Holland occurred in 1840 when the Dutch government divided the original province of Holland into northern and southern territories.

The province contains major cultural centers like The Hague with the Mauritshuis Museum, Rotterdam with the Boijmans Museum, and Delft with traditional ceramics production.

The extensive public transportation system connects 52 municipalities through trains, trams, buses, and water taxis, with Rotterdam serving as the main transportation hub.

The province maintains Europe's largest port complex in Rotterdam, processing over 450 million tons of cargo through advanced automated systems annually.
