The western city gate of Leiden is called the Morspoort. This stone gate was designed in 1669 and the name is derived from De Morsch. This is the marshy meadow area you find outside Leiden. The city gate on the Morssingel served as a prison for a long time.

Tow canal route

Leiden, Oegstgeest

Did you know that Leiden's cloth industry was huge? During (and well after) the 17th century, it was the biggest commodity. The tow canals were very important for this.
