This city was first settled in 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte River. Complete reconstruction after the devastation of WWII has resulted in the city's uniquely eclectic architectural landscape. Rotterdam is now Europe's largest port, while its extensive transport system of rail, roads, and waterways have earned the city nicknames such as "Gateway to Europe" and "Gateway to the World".
