De Witt Brothers, Historical memorial in The Hague, Netherlands.
The memorial site marks the location where brothers Johan and Cornelis de Witt met their deaths at the Gevangenpoort prison in 1672.
Johan de Witt served as Grand Pensionary of Holland from 1653 to 1672, leading Dutch politics during a period of economic growth and maritime expansion.
The execution site, known as Groene Zoodje, maintains physical elements that reflect the judicial practices of 17th-century Dutch society.
Visitors can explore the memorial location near the Gevangenpoort Museum, which contains exhibits about the brothers' lives and the political climate of their era.
The Netherlands Forensic Institute discovered in 2011 that preserved remains at the Hague Historical Museum include Johan de Witt's tongue and Cornelis's finger.
