Sittard (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsɪtɑrt]; Limburgish: Zitterd [ˈzɪtəʀt]) is a city in the Netherlands, situated in the southernmost province of Limburg.

The historic town was mostly spared destruction, despite lying in the frontline for over four months, in which over 4000 shells and rockets struck the city.

Sittard has a small historic city centre with numerous architectural monuments, including several old churches, monasteries and a few half-timbered houses.

On the south-eastern side of the city centre, the St Rosa chapel crowns the Kollenberg hill.

Museum "Het Domein" is situated in a converted nineteenth century school building in the city centre.

There are several schools for higher vocational education and training (hbo) in the city, including faculties of the Hogeschool Zuyd and Fontys Hogescholen.

Large schools for secondary education in Sittard are 'Trevianum Scholengroep' (havo and vwo) and 'Da Capo College' (vmbo).
