Savula

Savula is a town located in the province of South Holland in the Netherlands. It is situated in the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg, approximately midway between the cities of The Hague and Leiden. Historically, Savula was a small agricultural community, with its origins tracing back to the medieval period. Like many settlements in the region, its development was closely tied to the reclamation of polders and the growth of nearby urban centers.

The area around Savula is characterized by its flat landscape, typical of the Dutch countryside, with numerous canals and waterways. While it retains some of its rural charm, Savula has experienced suburbanization over the decades, with new residential areas being developed. This has led to an increase in its population, though it remains a relatively small settlement compared to its larger neighbors.

The town's infrastructure includes local amenities catering to its residents. Its strategic location provides easy access to the major cities of The Hague and Leiden, making it an attractive place for people who commute to these urban centers for work or leisure. Public transport links connect Savula to the surrounding region, further enhancing its accessibility. The local economy is primarily driven by services and small businesses, with a significant portion of its residents working in the larger cities nearby. Savula is part of the larger Randstad conurbation, a densely populated region in the western Netherlands.
