Wertheimpark, Public park in Plantage district, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The park spans three-quarters of a hectare with winding paths, lawns for recreation, and an ornate entrance gate in Empire architectural style.

Napoleon presented this land to Amsterdam in 1812, making it the first public park in the city, designed by architect Van der Hart.

The park contains the Auschwitz Monument, designed by Jan Wolkers in 1993, featuring broken mirrors that symbolize the Holocaust memorial.

The park includes drinking water facilities and multiple entrances, with convenient access from Plantage Middenlaan and Nieuwe Herengracht streets.

Two marble sphinx statues, installed in 1982, replaced the original zinc versions that decorated the park during the nineteenth century.
