Nieuwmarkt is an underground metro station in the city centre of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Served by metro lines 51, 53, and 54 of the Amsterdam Metro, the station was constructed by sinking caissons with a length of 40 metres. This construction method resulted in the demolition of parts of the Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood and was met with protests.
Despite the protests, destruction of the houses above the area started in December 1974. Construction on the station itself began in the summer of 1975. Nieuwmarkt has an island platform of 165 metres and two halls with a total of three entrances and was opened to the public on 11 October 1980.
