First of all, where are we? This is where the original dam was in the river Amstel back in the year 1200, right there at the tram track. Later they replaced it more back in the direction of the Dam square to hold stronger against the floods. Left, in the direction of the street, you still see a nice “bit“ of the original river Amstel. That’s where the name came from: Amstel and Dam = Amsterdam! The first people living on this swampy piece of land were fishermen.
