Mercatorplein with the striking tower on the corner of Jan Evertsenstraat and Mercatorstraat. This gatehouse is unique and the tower, which was demolished in 1961, was rebuilt in 1995.

Mercatorplein
Mercatorplein is a square in the Dutch city of Amsterdam. The square, which is located in the West district, borders the Hoofdweg at the intersection with the Jan Evertsenstraat.
The Mercatorplein is named after the famous cartographer Gerardus Mercator. The streets around it are also named after cartographers and explorers.
The square was built after a design by H.P. Berlage in 1925. Striking are the two gate buildings with towers on the north and south sides of the square. On the west side a kind of gate-like passage has been made in the Jan Evertsenstraat. Due to construction, the northern tower was demolished in 1961. With the renewal of the square, the tower rose in its old form in 1995.
The square was reopened in June 1998 after a major refurbishment. The loop of terminus tram 7 disappeared in 1995.
From 2008, the square was again refurbished again and divided. The new square was opened in September 2010.
