The Munttoren, or Mint Tower is a former guard tower that used to be part of the old city's fortifications. It gets it's name from the house behind it, which used to be the building that minted coins in 17th Century Amsterdam. The most attractive feature of the tower is the carillon that still chimes every quarter of an hour. Not really a must-see. See because it's a landmark more than anything else.
