From the 11th to 13th centuries, there was only one other city in Europe larger than Gent, Paris. Much of the Gent's medieval's archicture has remained intact, the top sites being the Three Towers of Ghent (Sint Niklaas church, Sint Baafs cathedral, and Belfort belfry tower). Also in town is an amazing castle (Gravensteen, castle of the counts) built in the 1100s and a super modern restaurant called Belga Queen.
