Homomonument is a monument in the Jordaan. The world's first monument to persecuted LGBTQ+ people, by the Westerkerk.
What to expect
A landmark you can visit — exterior is free to admire any time; interior visits (where possible) may have set hours and a fee.
The neighbourhood
It sits in Jordaan. The Jordaan is Amsterdam's prettiest, most charming quarter — narrow lanes, leafy canals, hidden almshouse courtyards and brown cafés. Once working-class, now beloved for slow wandering, independent shops and a villagey feel right beside the centre.
Good to know
Opening hours and ticket prices change — check the official website before visiting; many sights are free to see from outside.
