Het Belfort van Gent
Ghent's Belfry represents the city's wealth and independence. The Cloth Hall, which was constructed opposite the Belfry, was finished in 1907. The Cloth Hall's exquisite Brabant Gothic design honours the industries to which Ghent owes so much. An antique guard house may be seen on the corner of the Cloth Hall. Every Sunday morning from 11 a.m. until 12 p.m., the city carillonneur is at work. Every Saturday evening in July and August, except for the Gentse Feesten, you may enjoy a live carillon concert with many guest artists and music from throughout the world.
Jan-Frans Willems, considered the creator of the Flemish Movement, is honoured by this sculpture. As the son of a poor bourgeois family in the 18th century, he witnessed his father being abused by French-speaking Belgians who took away some of his employment because he didn't speak French. This is what will drive him to assert Flemish culture while being completely devoted to Dutch culture. The sculptures force themselves on this memorial by striking patriotic stances and yelling proudly.
