This square is the heart of the city and it's dominated by the Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis) and by the New Church (Nieuwe Kerk), the national church where all Dutch kings and queens have been inaugurated since 1841. In front of the Royal Palace the Nationaal Monument stands, a 22 meters obelisk built to honour the victims of World War II. The Madame Tussauds museums also overlooks the square, next to cafès, shops and hotels. During the Christmas time an ice-skating rink is set up.
