But just behind the massive facades, lie facinating histories just waiting to be unveiled.

New Amsterdam was conceived as the capital of the vast Dutch colonial and commercial empire that would rule the Dutch possessions in the Caribbean, Brazil, and Africa. From its inception, New York City was destined to be an Empire City. Discover how this imperial destiny of New Amsterdam grew and evolved through the centuries into the metropolis of today.
