It’s an intrinsic aspect of the cityscape in a metropolis that never stands still and never fails to fascinate its visitors.

Rotterdam, then and now Rotterdam formed around the Binnenrotte, where the little Rotte River once flowed. A dam was built here around 1270, becoming the centre of a small fishing village.T rade and shipping flourished and R‘ otterdam’ grew rapidly. The Nieuwe Waterweg channel was excavated between 1866 and 1872, giving Rotterdam a better connection to the sea and allowing it to grow into a truly world- class city. On 14 May 1940, during World War II, almost the entire city centre was destroyed by bombardments. The ‘fire boundary’ is still marked today by small lights in the shape of red flames embedded in the pavement.

The people of Rotterdam were pro-active and hands-on; reconstruction efforts started just two weeks after the war ended. The city had the courage to make a radical break with the past, opting for spacious design and modern architecture. Light, air and space were the watchwords. In the decades that followed, Rotterdam continued its commitment to ground-breaking architecture, creating the contemporary image the city has today. That drive for innovation is still characteristic of Rotterdam’s own. The skyline is interna­ tionally acclaimed as an ‘ode to modern Maastoren architecture’, and there’s so much more to discover here. Rotterdam: a definite must-­see? Absolutely! 04 05 1 5
