Visiting the Cathedral of Saint Bavo in the direction of the Belfort bell tower, there is a pedestrian plaza and in the middle there is a monument, at first we took photos of it and then we saw which character it was that was in this privileged location. A monument on a granite pedestal dedicated to the father of the popular flamenco movement.

(Translated by Google) This statue is a fitting tribute to an enthusiastic supporter of the creation of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Writer and musicologist, he was born in Boechout in 1793 and died in this city in 1846. His favorable position to the Orange brought him problems, but over time he was recognized as a leader of the Flemish popular movement. (Original) Esta estatua es un justo homenaje a quien fuera un entusiasta defensor de la creación del Reino Unido de los Países Bajos. Escritor y musicólogo, nació en Boechout en 1793 y murió en esta ciudad en 1846. Su posición favorable a los Orange le trajo problemas, pero con el tiempo fue reconocido como un líder del movimiento popular flamenco.

(Translated by Google) Was pleasantly surprised, never dealt with Ghent before but once there I found it very nice, historic center with flair... (Original) War positiv überrascht, nie zuvor mit Gent beschäftigt, aber einmal dort fand ich es sehr schön, historisches Zentrum mit Flair...

Fontanna załamuje krajobraz tutejszej architektury w bardzo ciekawy sposób. Skwer ma zupełnie inny charakter rano, popołudniu a już w ogóle późnym wieczorem.

(Translated by Google) Splendid, and harmonious in line with the whole city. (Original) Splendido, ed armonioso in linea con tutta la città.

Standing proudly in the square Sint-Baafs in the magnificent city of Ghent, the statue of Jan Frans Willems pays honor to the Flemish writer and father of the Flemish movement, a political movement for promoting Flemish culture when Belgium was ruled by the French.
