The National Monument stands at the heart of Dam Square, a solemn tribute to the Dutch victims of World War II. Completed in 1956, it features a central obelisk framed by allegorical figures symbolizing War, Peace, and Resistance. Each May 4th, the monument becomes the focal point of the National Remembrance of the Dead, drawing thousands to honor those who lost their lives in conflict. Surrounded by iconic landmarks like the Royal Palace and Nieuwe Kerk, the monument offers a contemplative space amid the city’s vibrant pulse. Take a moment to reflect here, then explore the nearby shopping streets, cafés, and museums for a complete Amsterdam experience.
