Medieval Amsterdam
a tour full of miracles
Did you know Amsterdam was a Holy City, because of a true miracle performed in 1345, acknowledged by the Pope as one of only eight (8!) miracles acknowleged in all of Europe in the Middle Ages?
As a result, Amsterdam became a very popular pilgrim’s destination, and no less than 21 monasteries sprang up in the city, which were converted into municipal institutions after the Calvinist takeover.
The tour takes you through alleyways and along medieval canals, past former convents and to the miraculously preserved Holy Host of the original Miracle!
Discover the narrowest alley of Amsterdam and a complete, hidden Catholic church during an exploration of the Red Light District, which centers around the Old Church, the oldest construction in town.
