the amsterdam flagThe Amsterdam flag, based on the coat of arms of the city, consists of two red lines with a black line in the middle. Often, a line represents a river. In this case the Amstel river. On the black line there are three St. Andrew’s crosses. The crosses used to be part of the coat of arms of an important landowner in the 13th C called Persijn. It is said that the 3 crosses stood for the dangers in the past: water, fire and the plague. The coat of Amsterdam can be found on many historical buildings in the city.#the_amsterdam_flag #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #holland #iamsterdam #citytrip #fremdenfüherinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #beiunsinamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #stadtführung #traveltips #walkingtouramsterdam #biketouramsterdam #history #storytelling #visitthenetherlands |
