The Begijnhof courtyard was originally built in the 14th century as a sanctuary for a Catholic sisterhood. Today the residents find the courtyard as a sanctuary from the bustling noise of Amsterdam traffic, while it's historic significance still draws tourists to view it's ensconced chapel and a statue of Jesus bearing his heart.

In a city as beautiful and historic as Amsterdam finding this hidden gem of a courtyard feels like a true discovery.

History, architecture, and tulips.

Loving the tulips - they add so much character to the square. Have never been to Amsterdam, but hoping to go some time soon!
