Palazzo Reale di Amsterdam "L'antico municipio, oggi il Palazzo Reale"

A metà del XVII secolo il pittore Jacob van Campen ricevette l'incarico di disegnare il nuovo municipio. Il consiglio cittadino voleva un importante simbolo adatto al ruolo di leader svolto in Europa in quel periodo, l'età dell'oro dell'Olanda, che simboleggiasse anche il potere economico e civile. L'edificio avrebbe dovuto renderlo chiaro a tutti. Il Koninklijk Paleis by Diego Delso divenne il più grande d'Europa. Nel 1808 il palazzo venne trasformato nel Palazzo Reale dal fratello di Napoleone Bonaparte, Louis, re della regione durante l'occupazione francese. Ai giorni nostri, è ancora la residenza reale. La famiglia reale olandese, Orange-Nassau, riceve i reali e gli alti dignitari qui. Inoltre il nuovo re o regina si presenta per la prima volta al popolo olandese dal balcone di questo palazzo.

Oude Kerk, or Old Church, is Amsterdam's oldest surviving building and place of worship, with roots that can be traced back to the 13th Century.

From its beginnings as a small wooden church to the beautiful building that exists today, Oude by Guilhem Vellut Kerk has maintained its medieval appearance, despite being stripped of its decorations during the Reformation in the 15th Century. Today, the church is a museum, Calvinist church and tourist attraction, that boasts of a robust contemporary arts program, and historic relics including the graves of local personalities and sculpted misericords. The church itself is an architectural wonder shaped over generations. The city's famous Stille Omgang is an annual event which commemorates the Miracle of the Host and still takes place today annually around the 15th of March, the nocturnal procession ending at De Oude Kerk.
