If Amsterdam’s Centraal Station looks familiar, it’s because it shares the same architect as the city’s famed Rijksmuseum. Pierre Cuypers designed both buildings in his signature Gothic/Renaissance Revival style. Twin turrets and stone reliefs celebrate Amsterdam’s industrial and commercial importance, and echo the aesthetic of a medieval cathedral. The most-visited National Heritage Site in the Netherlands, Centraal Station marked the city’s transition from a seafaring port to an inland economic center.
