Magna Plaza, Shopping center in central Amsterdam, Netherlands
The three-story retail complex occupies a grand neo-Gothic building with towers, dormers, and ornate brick decorations at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 182.
Constructed between 1895 and 1899 by architect Cornelis Peters, the building served as Amsterdam's main post office until 1987 before transforming into a shopping center.
The structure earned Rijksmonument status in 1974, recognizing its place among the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites for architectural and historical value.
The mall operates from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Saturday, with extended hours on Thursday and reduced hours on Sunday.
The central hall features galleries extending to upper floors, illuminated by a sunroof and connected through modern escalators while preserving original architectural elements.

The world's major shopping malls have become much more than just places to shop. People spend the day there, sometimes even the evening, between restaurants, attractions, and relaxation zones. Some host adventure parks, others museums, an ice rink, or a ski slope in a desert climate. Each complex tells something about its era and city. In Dubai, galleries compete with futuristic architecture. In Bangkok, centers combine luxury, cuisine, and entertainment. In North America, the spaces are so large they resemble full little cities with internal streets and themed zones. From continent to continent, these sites attract millions of visitors seeking new experiences. This selection brings together the most impressive centers, offering total immersion through large-scale shopping, varied entertainment, and ever-evolving scenery.
