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.
