About
Amsterdam's tallest church tower, topped with the gilded crown of Habsburg Emperor Maximilian, and the spiral stair to the top is narrow enough that groups run in timed slots rather than a free flow. Rembrandt was buried somewhere inside the church itself, though the exact grave was never marked. The bells that chimed through Anne Frank's diary entries still ring from this same tower every quarter hour.
