The Dam Square is the most well-known and important location in the city. It lies in the histroical centre. On one side you see the neoclassical Royal Palace, this was the house of the first King of Holland, Willem I. Now it is at the disposal of the Royal Family and used for state-visits. The palace is open for visitors all year round.
On the other side of the square is the National Monument, a white stone pilar to memorise the victims of World War II.
The Dam Square is the location of events, demonstrations and a meeting place for many people.
