Belle, the world's first monument erected to honor workers in the oldest profession, demands that sex workers around the world be respected.
Belle stood in Amsterdam's famous public square in 2007. However, Belle is often just an afterthought for those wishing to explore De Wallen.
Inside De Wallen is where prisoners were executed. Their blood dripped from Nieuwmarkt into the canal, hence the name Bloedstraat (Blood Street).
The ghosts of the rebels who were killed at that time are said to be roaming Bloedstraat in the middle of the night, and are still seeking revenge.
