An artistic tour in Belgium though Jan van Eyck - SilverKris

"A striking, contemporary open-air structure with two pointed, window-lined roofs that punctuates the historic centre; its bold modern lines have provoked mixed reactions but serve as a visible marker of the city’s juxtaposition of edgy architecture and medieval fabric." - Clodagh Kinsella

Well worth looking at the roof is amazing. With the vault ceilings and slits in the structure allowing the light to shine through this vast cover is impressive to walk through

Such an awesome place in Ghent! I really loved the urban building design — a perfect mix of modern and old architecture.

What an impressive piece of modern architecture! Seeing this bold, contemporary structure nestled between the ancient Belfry and historic church buildings is truly striking. The contrast is what makes it so cool and memorable. The design itself is fantastic, with the beautiful wooden ceiling and glass details. It's more than just a building; it's a lively public space that provides shelter and a unique perspective on the historic city center. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in how the old can meet the new.

LOVE this building. Very modern but, to my eye, totally fitting in to the medieval buildings surrounding it. Design by Robbrecht en Daem and Marie-José Van Hee. Also, it's free - no tickets required.

A very distinctive building that forms a striking contrast with the ancient The Belfry of Ghent.
