Summary

Description
English: Bus Shot

The Munttoren (Mint Tower) or Munt is a tower that was originally part of the Regulierspoort, one of the main gates in Amsterdam's medieval city wall. The gate, built in the years 1480, consisted of two towers and a guard house.

After the gate went up in flames in a 1618 fire, only the guard house and part of the western tower remained standing. The tower was then rebuilt in Amsterdam Renaissance style in 1620, with an eight-sided top half and elegant open spire featuring a clockwork with four clockfaces and a carillon of bells.

The name of the tower refers to the fact that it was used to mint coins in the 17th Century.
