'''Rotterdam''' is the second-largest [[city]] in the [[Netherlands]], and one of the largest [[port]]s in the world. It is located in the province of [[South Holland]], near the mouth of the [[Nieuwe Maas]] channel leading into the [[Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta]] at the [[North Sea]]. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the [[Rotte]] river, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted [[city rights]] by the [[Count of Holland]].

==History==
Rotterdam's early history is tied to the rise of the Dutch Empire. In the 17th century, it became a hub for international trade, a period known as the [[Dutch Golden Age]]. The city was heavily bombed during [[World War II]], in an event known as the [[Rotterdam Blitz]], which led to its modern architectural landscape.

==Economy==
Rotterdam's economy is heavily influenced by its strategic location and its port, the [[Port of Rotterdam]], which is the busiest port in Europe and the 10th busiest in the world. The city is also a major logistic and economic centre, with industries such as shipping, logistics, and petrochemicals playing a significant role.

==Culture==
Rotterdam is known for its [[Erasmus University]], its cultural life, its maritime heritage and its modern architecture. The city is home to several major cultural institutions, including the [[Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen]], the [[Netherlands Architecture Institute]], and the [[Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra]].

==Transport==
Rotterdam is well connected by international, national and regional transport systems. The city has its own airport, [[Rotterdam The Hague Airport]], and a comprehensive public transport network including trams, buses, and the [[Rotterdam Metro]].
