The Munttoren, also called De Munt, is officially called Regulierstoren and used to be part of the Regulierspoort. This city gate was one of the three main gates of the medieval fortifications of Amsterdam. The gate was named after the Reguliersklooster (1394-1532). This monastery stood at the height of the later Keizersgracht outside the Regulierspoort.
The tower stands on the Muntplein, which was called Schapenplein until 1877 and Sophiaplein from 1877 to 1917 (after Queen Sophie). Nowadays it is a busy intersection between Kalverstraat and Reguliersbreestraat, near the flower market on the Singel. Next to the tower, under the small gate, one goes in the direction of Kalverstraat or Reguliersbreestraat.
