The Royal Palace on Dam Square, was originally built as the Town Hall of Amsterdam 1655, but converted into a palace in 1808. When the Palace is not in use by the Royal Family, it is open to the public. The outside of the palace is modestly impressive, but it is nothing compared to the impressive Citizen’s Hall – with the enormous statue of Atlas – and the many rich decorated rooms that you can visit. Paintings and statues by famous artists symbolically refer to the power and wealth of the city of Amsterdam in the Dutch Golden Age.
