Prince Maurits and the Citizens of The Hague is a monument in honour of Prince Maurits that is located on the Heerenbrug in The Hague. The monument commemorates the fact that between 1613 and 1619 the citizens of The Hague had dug a canal around the place that served to defend the city by order of Maurice. Maurits had previously given the city council funds to build a city wall, but the government of The Hague had a new city hall built on the Dagelijkse Groenmarkt. Later Maurits settled in The Hague. He did not receive permission from the States of Holland to wall the city, but he did get permission to build a wide defensive canal.
