Graslei

Ghent

Ghent at 8 o'clock in the evening when we were sitting on a terrace for dinner.

This picture shows part of the medieval harbour of Ghent.
The building on the left is the oldest step-gabled building in the world (Roman style, anno 1200).
It used to be a wheatstorage. The old street level is at -1. The front is leaning over, not my camera :)
First to the right of it is the guildhall of the wheat measurers (Flemish Renaissance, 1698),
2nd to the right is the guildhall of the free bargemen (Brabant Gothic, 1531).


other sizes: small medium original auto
