About Basilica of Saint Nicholas

The Basilica of Saint Nicholas is located in the Old Centre district of Amsterdam, Netherlands, very close to Amsterdam's main railway station. The church is built on a previously urban site, necessitating a northwest-southeast axis to be adopted, rather than the standard east-west axis. The main facade is flanked by two towers, with a rose window in between.
Address : Prins Hendrikkade 73, 1012 AD Amsterdam, Netherlands
