The Singelgracht (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsɪŋəlˌɣrɑxt]) is a semi-circular waterway that borders the entire city centre of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The canal runs along the Nassaukade [nl], Stadhouderskade [nl] and Mauritskade [nl] streets. Formerly part of the ramparts, it formed the outer defenses of the city.
