Amsterdam City tour

Amsterdam City tour: Numerous tales from the era when the castle was still Amsterdam's Town Hall are depicted in the countless paintings and sculptures throughout the Het Koninklijk paleis Amsterdam. The stories behind the artworks aren't usually well known, even though they can still be seen in their original locations. Here are the most exciting A ‘Dam lookout tales from the palace and their poignant lessons.   The Atlas represents Amsterdam's position in the cosmos Atlas, in Rijksmuseum who is lugging the firmament around-in addition to watching over all of Amsterdam from his perch atop the roof, the Titan also holds a prominent position in the Het Anne Frank huis Citizens’ Hall, the center of the structure. Atlas represents the entire world and the prominent place Amsterdam was thought to occupy during the Golden Age. Therefore he is more than just decorative.   Four components of Citizens' Hall The heart of the Heineken Bierbrouwerij structure is Burgerzaal, or Citizens' Hall. The grand marble Rembrandthuis hall gives the visitor the impression that they are hovering between heaven and earth. The charts on the van Gogh museums marble floor are based on global maps and star charts made by the Blaeu family, the most well-known cartographers of the 17th century, who had their headquarters in Kalverstraat.    Poseidon announces Amsterdam's relationship with the sea The River Amstel in madame Tussauds Amsterdam has vanished from Red light district Dam Square, where it had flowed until a century ago. But in the 17th century, the Damrak and the River IJ—still directly connected to the sea—were used to carry cargo worldwide through a canal cruise to the city's center. Water is emphasized heavily on the pediment that faces Dam Square. But there, the Stedenmaagd is revered even by Poseidon, who, after the Titan-Titans war, was granted control over the oceans.
