Rotterdam, the second largest city of Holland both in terms of size and population, used to be the largest sea port in the world, but lost its title to Shanghai a few years ago. The history of the city began in the 13th century when it was a simple fishing village, which was continuously developing into an industrial and commercial city until it was nearly wiped out by a sudden German air force bombardment in WWII. Since then, Rotterdam was completely reconstructed and that’s the reason why it is almost impossible to identify the heart or the center of the city full of modern buildings.
