Naval-base

The Admiralty yards of Amsterdam's former city-centre naval base dates from 1620. The 17th-century gatehouse designed by Daniel Stalpaert is now a national monument.

A large warehouse was built here, which is now the current Shipping Museum.

These are still the original buildings from the outside of the base.

And the other side.
