The Leidsegracht is a transverse canal that cuts perpendicularly through the main concentric canal belt of Amsterdam. Digging began in the seventeenth century, and for several decades, this waterway marked the strict southern boundary of the expanding city. Its name honors the nearby city of Leiden, which was a primary destination for the barges that once departed from these quays to transport goods and passengers.
