This is Gent (pronounce the G with with a lot of spit in your mouth) It is a beautiful OLD medieval town with castles, cathedrals, dungeons, canals and chocolate
An old archbishop just laying around
There is quite the story behind the construction of one of these cathedrals. Two brothers murdered 2 brothers from a rival family. Their penance or punishment was to build this cathedral and they would receive complete forgiveness... wow. Quite the slam on the atonement.

What interesting architecture and stories. You covered a lot of ground in a short period of time!
wow cool. is that in holland?
Gent is in Belgium
Depending on where you are from if is spelled and pronounced differently. In Dutch it is a rough G, in Belgium softer G and in French-regular G. Spelling can be Ghent, or Gent again depends on where you are from.
