The buildings and chapel are located in a small tranquil courtyard, the perfect location for prayer and reflection. It is the only street in Amsterdam that dates back to the Middle Ages and the ground level here is about a meter belowother streets in the city. The original facades of to the 14th century were replaced in the 17th and 18th century but 18 of the houses still have their original gothic wooden frames. After the Protestants took control of the city in 1578 this was the only catholic institution to remain open. Begijenof chapel did neverthless remain closed for 30 years until the English Presbertarians took control. Since this time it has been kown as the English Church.

century Renaissance church is one of the city's most important landmarks and is
where Queen Beatrix was married in 1966, and reputedly the site of Rembrandt's
grave. Energetic visitors may climb the steps of the tower to see the carillon, and
marvel at the breathtaking views afforded over the Amsterdam skyline.


Portuguese Synagogue

The beautiful Portuguese Synagogue, also called the Esnoga, is one of the most important legacies of the vibrant Jewish Community in Amsterdam. Until the Holocaust, Jews made up more than 10% of the population of Amsterdam. During the 16th and 17th century, many Jews facing persecution in Spain and Portugal fled to Amsterdam. The religious tolerance they enjoyed in the Dutch Republic was unheard of in the rest of Europe.


Jewish Museum

Four former synagogues house the Jewish Historical Museum. The oldest of these four synagogues was constructed in 1670. As the Jewish community continued to grow, a new synagogue was built next to the first one. Not much later the third synagogue was built, followed by the fourth one in 1752. During the Second World War the synagogues were partly destroyed by the Nazis.
The majority of the Jewish people of Amsterdam did not return from the concentration camps. As a result the synagogues were closed in 1987 and the complex was rebuilt into the museum it is now. Glass roofs link the four synagogues. Various exhibitions highlight the history and culture of the Jews in the Netherlands. The newest synagogue portrays the Jewish identity and the war years while religious aspects of Judaism are the subject of the displays in the oldest synagogue.


Anne Frank’s House

One of the most popular and poignant visits in Amsterdam; this unremarkable building is where Anne Frank and seven members of her family hid during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands and where she wrote most of her famous diary.
