    Ghent is the third largest city in Belgium and was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Northern Europe during the late Middle Ages. Much of the city's medieval architecture is still intact, including St. Nicholas Church. St. Nicholas Church (Sint-Niklaaskerk) is one of Ghent's oldest and most famous landmarks. It was built in the early 13th century as a replacement for an earlier Romanesque church.
