Historic Major Street

ROKIN

Rokin is a major street in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Originally it was part of the river Amstel, and was known then as Rak-in (a rak is an old Dutch word for a straight body of water). When the quays along the Rokin were constructed in 1913, they were named after the water which they adjoined. The Mirakelkolom, which normally stands on the Rokin, has been temporarily removed during the construction of the metro line.
