Pinsteps. Crescent Bridge (Halvemaansbrug) Amsterdam

This is one of the ancient bridges over the Amstel River. Its name is romantic, but not transparent. It is said that the ledge of the river bank resembled a crescent moon, while others claim that the windows of a liquor store standing at the bridge at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were decorated with a crescent moon. Be that as it may, we move on to Rembrandt Square, where our walk ends. Pictured is the 1930 Crescent Bridge.
