You're standing on Plein '40-'45, the 1940-45 Square, in Slotermeer in western Amsterdam. Look at that tall concrete structure. That's the bell frame of the Freedom Carillon, fifteen metres high, carried by four pairs of slanting concrete columns. The bells hang at the top, with a cabin and even a little roof.
