Munttoren
-
Take a close look at the Mint Tower (it was briefly used as the city mint in 1673). Its bottom half is the remnant of a gate in the medieval city wall. When the gate burned down in 1618, Hendrick de Keyser slapped one of his clock towers (see Noorderkerk) on top of the remains. The carillon of 1699 rings every 15 minutes. Today, there is a gift shop on the ground floor.
