The "Raadhuisstraat" dating from 1895, is a street in downtown Amsterdam and is named after the former Town Hall or City Hall, now the Royal Palace. It is the only street in Amsterdam with an indoor gallery.
It is a busy street with lots of traffic so a bit difficult to come closer.
Look at the monumental houses with all the details as the open pieces with pillars on top.
In the background the Westertoren (Westtower) which bells Anne Frank always heard during her hiding in WW2 close behind the church.
A view at the ever growing queues of visitors to the Anne Frank House with the West Church at the right.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHow I would love to visit this particular area in your fine, historical city. I can well understand the interest in the Anne Frank building. Everything in your post today has historical significance.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAn especially interesting post, b, with Anne Frank's memory being invoked again on the Continent.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo lovely and elegant!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy daughter never got through the line to see Anne Frank's hiding place when she visited Amersterdam this year and she was so disappointed. Maybe another time. It would give me chills to hear the bells she heard. The buildings on the street are so elegant.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI enjoyed seeing these photographs very much, thank you.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAll the best Jan
Lovely building, what a pity I can't remember seeing it although I was at Anne Frank's house.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful architecture, Marianne!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a unique city
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA beautiful city with some wonderful architecture. Anne Frank's memory is still very powerful around the world. I saw a exhibition devoted to her in Portland, Oregon back in the 90s. It was very moving to see.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's one of the few places you how with los of cars.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe buildings with the gallery are exquisite. Those shopping galleries are great in winter. I remember them when I lived in Switzerland.
