Rembrandt is the largest and oldest city in the Republic of Willemia. Settled in 1653, it has evolved into a modern city since then.

The heritage-listed Victoria Hotel, built in 1856 and remains one of the city's most luxurious hotels.



The modern Struijcken Bridge, built in 1993 and carries a large chunk of the city's road traffic.



The Republiek Hotel, built in 1928 and remains a popular 5-star hotel for executives, government officials and multi-millionaires.



The 45-storey Rembrandt Square building, completed in 1965 and stands 172 metres tall. It was the tallest building in Willemia at the time of its completion.



Rembrandt also has a large number of Victorian terrace houses, built in the latter half of the 19th century.



The Rembrandt Central Station, built in 1903 and is the busiest railway station in Willemia.



The Oranje Bank Tower, built in 1990, is the tallest office building in the city. It stands 320 metres tall and has 63 floors.



The 67-storey Oostbank Centre stands 250 metres above the Rembrandt skyline. It was completed in 1977.



The 335 metre Omroeptoren (Broadcasting Tower) was constructed in 1986.



The Universiteit van Rembrandt is the oldest and most prestigious university in the city.



Despite their Art Deco appearances, the Spoorweg Hotel (left) and the Manhattan Apartments (right) were built long after Art Deco's popularity had waned. The Manhattan Apartments, a New York-style residential tower, was built in 1976, and the Spoorweg was built in 1989.



The St Mary's Catholic Church was built in 1879 and stands 82 metres above the ground. It is also a major city landmark.



The heritage-listed Langbroek Department Store is one of Rembrandt's most iconic high-end retailers, operating since 1847, although the building was constructed in 1923.



The 50-storey Hyatt Hotel (centre) was built in 2000 and is one of the city's most popular hotels for business travellers.



The 75-storey Willemstraat Toren is among the newest skyscrapers in Rembrandt. Completed in 2017, it is also the tallest residential building in the city.



The first office skyscraper in Rembrandt, the Metrobank Building was completed in 1960 and stands 121 metres tall with 27 storeys.



Another major transportation hub, the Victorian-style Haarlem Railway Station was built in 1856 and was one of the largest railway stations in the southern hemisphere at the time of its completion.



In the northern suburb of Eindhoven, these low-wealth apartment buildings were constructed between 1956 and 1965 to allow housing for poorer residents, as well as to relieve housing demand in the postwar years.



In the inner western suburb of Rotterdam, a row of luxury 19th-century terraces run along most of the western end of Rotterdam Park.



At the northern end of said park, the Rembrandt Police headquarters stands there.



Immediately north of the Batavia River, Noord-Rembrandt contains a combination of colonial-era and modern residential and commercial buildings.

Looking good! I like the variety of buildings you have (I really love those rowhouses) as well as Rotterdam Park.
