Historic Town Square

The Munttoren ("Mint Tower") or Munt is a tower in Amsterdam. It stands on the busy Muntplein square, where the Amstel river and the Singel canal meet.

The tower was originally part of the Regulierspoort, one of the main gates in Amsterdam's medieval city wall. The gate, built in the years 1480-1487, consisted of two towers and a guard house. After the gate went up in flames in a 1618 fire, only the guard house and part of the western tower remained standing.
