Old City Hall of Amsterdam, Medieval town hall in Dam Square, Netherlands
The Old City Hall of Amsterdam features a Gothic architectural design with tall spires, stone carvings, and a grand facade with ornate decorations.
Construction of this administrative center began in 1390, serving as the primary location for city governance until its transformation into a palace in 1808.
The Burgerzaal, the main ceremonial hall inside the building, displays historical paintings and decorative elements that represent Amsterdam's municipal heritage.
The building maintains its connection to civic duties by functioning as a venue for civil marriage ceremonies and guided tours throughout the year.
Artist Pieter Jansz Saenredam created a detailed painting of the building in 1657, which now resides in the Rijksmuseum collection.
