In his native Rotterdam, the University and Gymnasium Erasmianum have been named in his honor.
In 2003, a poll showing that most Rotterdammers believed Erasmus to be the designer of the local " Erasmus Bridge " instigated the founding of the Erasmus House, dedicated to celebrating Erasmus's legacy.
Three moments in Erasmus's life are celebrated annually.
On 1 April, the city celebrates the publication of his best-known book The Praise of Folly.
On 11 July, the Night of Erasmus celebrates the lasting influence of his work.
His birthday is celebrated on 28 October.
