Dam Square, Amsterdam, The Netherlands |
Amsterdam’s central square is a popular tourist spot, located, as it is, by the Royal Palace - but its daily bustle, complete with travelers taking the perfect selfies, and street performers entertaining the passersby, is a far cry from its gruesome history. During the Spanish Inquisition, executions took place in their hundreds here,
While those accused of witchcraft were burnt alive. By night, these tortured souls are said to be tangible presences.
