De Torensluis: brug met een verhaal

The Torensluisbrug is at 42 meters one of the widest bridges in Amsterdam. The Jan Roodenpoortstoren once stood on this bridge. You can still see the contours of this tower on the road surface. Originally this was a passage in the city wall. The city wall was eventually demolished in order to build the canal belt. The tower itself was not demolished until later.
