Amsterdam the Capitol of Holland

Dam Square which has been at the heart of Amsterdam life for hundreds of years.
It's home to the Palace, which looks somewhat forbidding from the outside but Is spectacular from the inside. It 'was built in the 17th century by Jacob van Campen and Constantijn Huygen, the famous writer described it as "The eighth wonder of the world."
It's open to the public and is well worth ' a visit.
If you-want an amusing and educational crash course in Dutch history, you could do worse than to visit, Madame Tussaud, also on Dam Square, where exquisitely detailed scenes take you back to the 17th century.
If you look to your left you will see the War Monument, designed by JJP Oud in 1956.
