Homomonument

Three interconnected pink granite triangles form a larger triangle along the Keizersgracht canal next to the Westerkerk church in Amsterdam.

The monument, inaugurated in September 1987, stands as the first memorial dedicated to gay individuals persecuted during the Nazi regime.

The three triangle points connect symbolically to Dam Square War Memorial, Anne Frank House, and COC Amsterdam, representing past, present, and future.

Pink Point information kiosk next to the monument provides visitors with details about Amsterdam LGBTI organizations and local resources.

Granite triangles incorporate the pink triangle symbol, which Nazis used to mark homosexual prisoners and later became a symbol of LGBTI rights.
