'''Antwerp''' ([[Flemish]]: ''Antwerpen'', [[French]]: ''Anvers'') is the second largest city in [[Belgium]], and the largest city in the region of [[Flanders]]. It is the largest port of Belgium and one of the largest in [[Europe]]. Situated on the [[River Scheldt]], it has been a major commercial centre since medieval times, although its sacking by Spanish troops during the 'Spanish Fury' of 1576 allowed [[Amsterdam]] to gain a regional commercial advantage which it has never lost. Antwerp has a population of 472,000.
