Three UNESCO World Heritage sites in 40 seconds

The three UNESCO World Heritage sites – the Amsterdam Canal Ring, the Beemster Polder and the Amsterdam Defence Line – are totally different.
But they still have a lot in common. The Beemster Polder and the Amsterdam Canal Ring clearly stem from the seventeenth century, when the Golden Age was at its peak and Amsterdam was expanding as a prosperous and cosmopolitan centre of trade.
The Defence Line, dating from the late nineteenth century, was built for military protection purposes, and has left a unique collection of forts and waterworks in the flat landscape around Amsterdam. At the time, the Amsterdam Defence Line was a highly ambitious and innovative project – on a par with the Canal Ring and the Beemster Polder two centuries before.
This film explains in 40 seconds the connection between these World Heritage Sites.
