Almelo, Municipality with medieval roots in Overijssel, Netherlands
Located in eastern Netherlands, Almelo extends across 69 square kilometers of land with numerous parks, waterways, and residential neighborhoods at 12 meters above sea level.
The settlement received city rights in 1394, later developing into an industrial center during the 19th century with textile manufacturing as its primary economic driver.
The construction of the first mosque in the Netherlands occurred in Almelo in 1976, marking a significant step in the integration of the Turkish community.
Two railway stations, Almelo and Almelo de Riet, connect the city to major destinations including Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Berlin, and regional Dutch cities.
