The back of the Bloemenmarkt stalls on the Singel Canal. Looking towards the Munttoren Clock Tower.
The Singel is a canal in Amsterdam which encircled the city in the Middle Ages. It served as a moat
around the city until 1585, when Amsterdam expanded beyond the Singel. The canal runs from the IJ bay,
near Central Station, to the Muntplein square, where it meets the Amstel river. It is now the
inner-most canal in Amsterdam's semicircular ring of canals.
