At
the end
of the
16th Century
the first
Spanish
and Portuguese
Jews settle
in the
economically
fast-developing
city of
Amsterdam,
escaping
the Spanish
inquisition.
Together
with large
groups
of poor
Ashkenazi
Jews they
developed
from the
early
17th Century
onwards
an independent
Jewish
community
that would
grow into
the most
important
Jewish
community
of the
Jewish
Diaspora.
The Jewish
community
has left
its mark
on the
city in
many different
ways.
The legacy
of many
famous
Jewish
citizens
of Amsterdam
can still
be seen.
