PV! Ghent is another very important…
PV! Ghent is another very important city of medieval Flanders. Originally started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Leie and in the Late Middle Ages became one of the largest and richest cities of northern Europe, with 50,000 people in 1300. At the moment it is the capital and largest city of the East Flanders province, and the third largest in Belgium, exceeded in size only by Brussels and Antwerp.
The photo shows Portus Ganda, at the confluence of the two rivers.
