Over the Canal - Amsterdam, Netherlands
The history of Amsterdam's iconic canals is a tale of innovation, ambition, and resilience. Constructed in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, these waterways were born out of a strategic vision to facilitate trade and transportation, as well as to reclaim land from the surrounding marshes. Guided by meticulous urban planning, the city's engineers embarked on an ambitious project to dig canals, creating a network of waterways that crisscrossed the city like veins, connecting Amsterdam to neighboring towns and beyond. Over the centuries, these canals evolved into bustling hubs of commerce, lined with warehouses, merchant houses, and bustling markets. Today, they stand as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a testament to Amsterdam's rich maritime history and enduring legacy as the Venice of the North.
