Facts and practical information

The A'DAM Tower is an eighty-meter tall tower on the IJ bank in Amsterdam-North. The tower was designed in 1966 by Dutch architect Arthur Staal on behalf of Royal Shell. As a result, the building was better known as "Shell Tower" to many Amsterdam residents. In 2016, the tower was renamed A'DAM Tower after a two-year renovation.
