After Curfew. Muiderpoort, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

            In earlier times we'd likely at this late hour not have been admitted to the city by way of the Muiderpoort or any of the other city gates. More or less to the right of the outer gate pictured here there was until the late nineteenth century an inn, the Roomtuintjes, which accommodated late-comers until dawn and the opening of the gate. The name 'Roomtuintjes' (Cream Gardens) apparently derives from the fact that farmers going to market in town would here milk their cows after a short night's rest at the inn; and pay the innkeeper in kind.
The Muiderpoort is the second stone structure here. It was built in 1770 in the classicist Louis-XVI style to the design of Cornelis Rauw (1732-1772), town architect.
