History of Amsterdam's Canals

• Amsterdam is otherwise called the Venice of the
  North for the various waterways, extensions and
  islands it has. The three noteworthy trenches in
  the city are Keizersgracht, Herengracht and
  Prinsengracht. They were made in the Dutch Golden
  Age in the seventeenth century. The channels make
  up concentric semi-roundabout belts that
  circumvent Amsterdam. The belts are otherwise
  called grachtengordel longest canal in world. In
  excess of 1,500 grand structures are arranged
  along the primary channels. The nineteenth
  century trenches are on the World Heritage List
  of UNESCO.
