## Commentary

Jacob van Campen&#39;s undisputed masterpiece was the Amsterdam Town Hall \(now the royal palace\). The ground plan consists of a rectangle with two interior courtyards centred on an extensive monumental hall, the Burghers&#39; Hall. The barrel vault and the fact that the hall stretches to the full height of the building gives it a distinctly religious feeling. The exterior features two superimposed systems of Corinthian pilasters.
