Drommedaris

Located between the Buitenhaven and the Oude Haven, the Drommedaris was built as a defense tower as part of the 16th-century town walls. Once a formidable prison, it now serves as a cultural center with a cinema (screening films in Dutch), occasional concerts and theater performances, and an on-site cafe. Its clock-tower carillon plays on the hour.
