The Oudezijds Voorburgwal, often abbreviated to OZ Voorburgwal, is a street and canal on De Wallen in the center of Amsterdam. Originally, the OZ Voorburgwal was a creek that was further excavated into a moat around the eastern part of the city, the old side. Before 1385, the Amstel divided the city of Amsterdam into two almost equal parts, the old side with the Oude Kerk and the new side with the Nieuwe Kerk. To protect the city, a moat was dug on each side with a rampart behind it, an earthen wall, provided with a wooden palisade for protection. When new walls were constructed behind these walls around 1385, the existing wall became the Voorburgwal and the new wall the Achterburgwal, on both the old and new sides. This is how the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Oudezijds Achterburgwal, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal and Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal (now Spuistraat) were created. In the 17th and 18th centuries the canal was usually called the Fluwelenburgwal. When the buildings on Oudezijds Voorburgwal were built in the Golden Age, canal gardens were also created behind the mansions. Today they have almost all disappeared.
