The city hall was designed in 1986 by the American architect Richard Meier and completed in 1995.
It is located in the new city centre, and incorporates the council chamber, the main public library, as well as cafés, exhibition spaces, and a wedding room.
[1] It is nicknamed "the Ice Palace" (Dutch: IJspaleis) for its white color.
In the 2004 American film Ocean's Twelve directed by Steven Soderbergh, it serves as the headquarters of Europol.
