Rozengracht has its origins in the 17th century, during the Golden Age, when Amsterdam expanded its famous ring of canals. Originally, the Rozengracht was actually a canal that formed part of the Jordaan's network of canals. The canal owes its name to the rose growers who were active in this part of the city. In 1889, the Rozengracht was filled in to make way for traffic and urban expansion. The filling up changed the Rozengracht from a waterway to a dynamic street, which has played an important role in Amsterdam's urban life ever since. The street is still a popular place for its historic facades, unusual monuments and modern amenities.
