🇧🇪The Gallant Ghent in Belgium🇧🇪

#magicalxmastrip We ventured out to the city of Ghent in Belgium❤️ Ghent is renowned for its impressive castles, which reflect its medieval heritage and strategic importance. The most notable is Gravensteen or the Castle of the Counts, built in the 12th century. This imposing fortress features thick stone walls, towers, and a moat, serving as a royal residence and a seat of power for the counts of Flanders. Visitors can explore its well-preserved interiors, including the torture museum and the castle’s great hall, which offer a glimpse into the life and governance of medieval nobility. This castle along with other castles provides a fascinating insight into Ghent's rich history and its role in the broader context of Flemish and Belgian heritage. #xmastrip #xmas2024 #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #europe #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #belgium #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip
