Picture Perfect Place
Worthwhile a visit. Build between 1914 and 1920. This building has survived the bombings in WWII. And a picture perfect place. Bring your foto/video camera with you.

One of the few survivors of WW2!
Rotterdam's City Hall is one of the few lucky survivors of the destruction that befell on the city during the Second World War. It was built in the early part of the 1900s and it is a beautiful building indeed. Sculptures have been used around the building to express the history of Rotterdam. Right at the entrance of the building are sculptures of the ‘Portier’ (doorman) and the ‘Fiscus’ (tax collector). Other sculptures express a range of values and virtues, such as ‘stedenmaagd’ (urban virgin), over the main entrance, with the gilded bronze statue ‘Genius met fakkel’ (spirit with torch). The gilded statue ‘Vredesengel’ (angel of peace) is at the top of the highest tower. Bear in mind that visits to the City Hall are only through guided tours which you can book through the tourist office, which is not too far away. This is definitely worth a visit.
