Rotterdam is the Netherlands' second-largest city and Europe's largest port, home to approximately 650,000 city residents and 1.3 million in the metro area. It operates on Central European Time (CET/CEST). The Port of Rotterdam is Europe's largest port by tonnage by a massive margin — it handles over 470 million tonnes annually, roughly triple the next largest European port. Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed by German bombing on May 14, 1940, and rebuilt from scratch — this catastrophic 'clean slate' paradoxically gave the city one of the world's most innovative post-war architectural landscapes. The Erasmusbrug (Swan Bridge), the Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen), the Market Hall (Markthal), and numerous international architectural firms' most daring projects have made Rotterdam Europe's capital of contemporary architecture. The city hosts the world's largest street dance festival (World of Dance). Erasmus University Rotterdam is named after Desiderius Erasmus, the great Renaissance humanist scholar who was born in Rotterdam around 1467.
