The Museum of Army. The Armentarium was restored and now it serves as the Museum of Army, where the Dutch arms are exhibited: weapon, pictures, painting and many other things. On the front you'll see the huge relief of 17th century with the image of Mars.

The New Cathedral.The New Cathedral on Market Square is a gothic basilica of the 14th century. Under the mausoleum of William of Orange (17th century) the crypt of the royal family is located. In this cathedral was also buried Hugo Grotius. The cathedral broach of the 19th century is 100 m high with the chimes on the top. The cathedral is open for all the visitors. At Market Square there are also other historical constructions, such as the City Hall. The City Hall was built in the Middle Age on the place of the prison. After the fire the City Hall was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, but the gothic tower of the 13th century left untouched. The building 'Scales' was projected in the 16th century. In the 18th century after the near houses were united and the front was restored the building, which you can see today, appeared. There took place the Guild of gold and silver jewelers and the Guild of chemists.
