“Traditionally, the boundaries of the Jodenbuurt, east of the city center, are the Amstel River in the southwest, the Zwanenburgwal [“Swans City Wall”] and Oudeschans [“Old Rampart”] canals in the northwest, Rapenburg, a street in the northeast and the Nieuwe Herengracht [ “New Patricians Canal” ] in the southeast. But it grew to include parts of Nieuwmarkt [ “New Market” ], Sint Antoniesbreestraat [ “St. Anthony’s Broad Street” ], the Plantage [ “Plantation” ], and Weesperzijde [ “Weesper Side” ], especially after 1882, when two canals, the Leprozengracht [ “Lepers Canal” ] and the Houtgracht [ “Wood Canal” ], were filled. ” #Wikipedia.
