'''Ghent''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: ''Gent'', [[French language|French]]: ''Gand'', [[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Gante'', ''Gaunt'' in Medieval English) is a city in the [[Flanders]] region of [[Belgium]] (capital of Flanders). It enjoyed extreme prosperity in the [[Middle Ages]] and early modern period as a centre of cloth production. The decline of this industry ended the town's growth, but helped preserve its remarkable collection of buildings. Today Ghent is a popular tourist centre. Ghent has a population of 257,029 (2016).
