Highlights include the city's Belfry and Cloth Hall. The Bell itself is a symbol of the city's independence whilst the Cloth Hall signifies Ghent's importance in the cloth trade. The breathtaking St. Bavos Cathedral boasts a mix of Romanesque, Baroque and Gothic architecture and is also home to the Adoration of the Mystic Lamp. Further buildings of note include the 12th century Castle of the Counts and the Voorhuit concert space that pays homage to the city's socio-democratic past and showcases it's best Art Deco architecture.
