	Koninklijk Paleis (The Royal Palace) at Damsquare.  Originally built as the City Hall, Louis Napoleon turned it into the Royal Palace during his short-lived reign over the Netherlands. Today it is rarely used by the Dutch royal family for ceremonial occasions only. The sculptures and artwork inside are worth seeing. Amsterdam, Holland. Photo Copyright © LukeTravels.com™
