Moses and Aaron Church (officially Church of St. Anthony of Padua)

Catholic church

👍 A really nice church. The bell towers are amazing and the statue with the inscription under it are breathtaking.

Palm Greenhouse

Museum

👍👍 The old Palm Greenhouse of the Amsterdam Hortus is actually an old monument and historic architecture from 1912. Thanks to the cast iron construction, the greenhouse could tolerate such large windows and still remain strong enough to hold up. I think it is one of the most fascinating places in the e...
