About this experience

Walk a full loop around Haarlem's singels and find the ghosts of fourteen medieval city gates. Only one survived — the Amsterdamse Poort. Discover where defenders blew up their own gate, where a windmill rests on a tower's foundation, and why demolition contractors paid the city 3,500 guilders to tear the walls down.
