A’DAM Tower lights up for The Spirit of Amsterdam
To celebrate the start, the A’DAM Tower will illuminate in the vibrant colors of The Spirit of Amsterdam, saluting the church towers across our city and shining a light on what unites us.
In honour of The Spirit of Amsterdam - a 3-day city festival in churches, mosques, synagogen and temples. With over 90 events celebrating the city’s most beautiful—and often hidden—treasures. Music. Art. Rituals. Stories. Silence.
Amsterdam is built on the values of mercy, courage, and determination. These timeless principles have shaped our city and remind us that togetherness is stronger than the differences that divide us.
Church towers once stood as beacons of community—places to celebrate, learn, and grieve together. Today, their silhouettes remind us of a shared human longing: the desire to belong.
By lighting up in the colors of The Spirit of Amsterdam, we invite everyone to step out of their own bubble, embrace the rich diversity of our city, and breathe new life into the collective spirit of Amsterdam. Let us be merciful, opening doors and reaching out to those in need. Let us be courageous, exploring new perspectives and finding strength in our differences. And let us be determined, choosing connection over division, time and time again.
Look up, feel the spirit of our city, and join this tribute to our shared home.
