Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam, National sports stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Olympic Stadium features horizontal lines and geometric forms of Amsterdam School architecture, with a renovated capacity of 22,288 seats and a Marathon tower.
The stadium, designed by Jan Wils and opened in 1928, served as the primary venue for the Summer Olympics that year and introduced the Olympic Flame concept.
The structure earned the Olympic gold medal in architecture during the 1928 Games and received national monument status in 1987 to prevent its demolition.
The stadium hosts athletics competitions, cycling events, and music concerts, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.
The facility underwent a renovation from 1996 to 2000 that restored its original 1928 configuration by removing the second ring added in 1937.
