Ghent (Gent — the medieval city 55 km northwest of Brussels, 30 minutes by train, the capital of the Counts of Flanders and the largest city in medieval Flanders): Ghent's three medieval towers (St. Bavo's Cathedral, the Belfry, and St. Nicholas' Church) rising above the Graslei (the medieval quayside harbour) are the defining image of Flemish medieval history; the city's greatest treasure is the Ghent Altarpiece (the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb, completed 1432 by the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck, in the Cathedral of St. Bavo) — the most important painting in Northern European art history.
