Rembrandtplein
Rembrandtplein (Rembrandt Square) is a major square in central Amsterdam, the Netherlands, named after the famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn who owned a house nearby from 1639 to 1656.
==History==
The square has its origins in the defensive walls constructed in the Middle Ages to protect the city. The site of Rembrandtplein held a ''Regulierspoort'' or gateway into the city. By 1655, the city had expanded beyond this area and it began to attract visiting farmers who brought their butter, dairy and poultry products to sell in the city and it became known as ''Botermarkt'' or butter market. By 1668, the Regulierspoort housed a ''Waaggebouw'' or weigh house. Each autumn, the square hosted a fair and the farmers' stalls were replaced by dance orchestras and circus tents. The market continued under this name until 1876 when a statue of Rembrandt by sculptor Louis Royer was moved from the perimeter to the centre of the square and it was renamed ''Rembrandtplein'' (eng.: Rembrandt Square).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.rembrandtplein.com/en/algemene-informatie/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.rembrandthuis.nl/index.php?item=268&lang=en )〕
By the early twentieth century, the square developed into a centre for nightlife drawing artists, young people and laborers. To serve these visitors, several hotels, cafés and entertainment venues opened in the adjoining streets. The area continues to be popular with residents and tourists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.pps.org/great_public_spaces/one?public_place_id=61 )〕
