is the second largest city in the Netherlands (after Amsterdam), located in the province of Zuid Holland. The city has the largest port in Europe and until recently the largest port on earth, situated on the banks of the river the Nieuwe Maas. The name "Rotterdam" is derived from a dam in a small river, the Rotte, which joins the Nieuwe Maas at the heart of the city.
