    View to the south. To the left the old bank building, Centre is the KPN building, next to EWrasmus bridge. The 'hole' to the left of the centre is the place where 
an adjacent building of the bank stood. It was demolished. On that place another high rise building weill be constructed. Part of the harbour will be used as a suterranean 
parking garage.
