Zeedijk – One of Amsterdam’s oldest streets
October 5, 2008 Old City Center, Red Light District
The construction of the Zeedijk (sea dike) at the beginning of the 13th century meant that Amsterdam — which at that time was called Aemstelledam — was no longer subjected to regular flooding.
Through the centuries the street has seen many highs and lows, but currently it is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
