Historical map of Amsterdam: most maps ever made

Did you know that most maps of Amsterdam have ever been made? There are many historical maps of Amsterdam available. This is because the city of Amsterdam was continuously growing. And all those added pieces had to be mapped out in order to make the growth of the city transparent for everyone. In the 17th century, a historical map of Amsterdam or of the Netherlands cost as much as a painting by Rembrandt or one of his pupils.

In addition to Amsterdam, many historical maps of Rotterdam have also been made.
