Lonely Planet review for Muiderpoort

This grand classical arch was built in 1770 as a gateway to the city. On the south side you’ll see the Amsterdam emblem of three St Andreas’ crosses, while on the other side there’s the previous emblem: a cog ship. In 1811 Napoleon rode triumphantly through the gate with his royal entourage, and promptly demanded food for his ragged troops. The 1st floor, just under the grey dome, is now occupied by a financial advisers body.
