the
three saint Andrew's crosses are the “logo”
of the city government of Amsterdam and are used widely throughout the
city
some
people say the three saltires represent the three dangers of ancient Amsterdam:
fire, floods, and the black death - however that theory has no historical basis
the
crosses probably have their origin in the shield of the noble family Persijn -
the knight Jan Persijn was "lord" of Amstelledamme (Amsterdam) from
1280 to 1282
some
people think that it is the xxx rating for the city’s sex industry!
