Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, originated as a 12th-century fishing settlement located at the mouth of the Amstel River. The city's name is derived from the dam constructed to control flooding in the region. The historical center is defined by a 17th-century canal ring, which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This network consists of three primary concentric waterways: the Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht. The architecture within this district features narrow.
