Het Stadhuis op de Dam

The administrative centre of Amsterdam was the Town Hall. This was where burgomasters made decisions affecting not only the city, but also the Republic. The Town Hall was also the meeting place of sheriffs and aldermen, and the place where the Town Council met. It also housed the Exchange Bank, which was one of the most powerful financial organizations in the world.
