The city flourished as a religious centre in the Middle Ages, with the magnificent Sint Servaasbasiliek built around the reliquary of St Servatius. Maastricht witnessed numerous sieges during the Eighty Years' War and later Dutch-Spanish conflicts, with defensive walls and fortifications still visible today. In modern times, it hosted the signing of the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, which established the European Union.
