Citadel of Ghent, Historic fortress in Belgium
The Citadel of Ghent stands as a prominent historical structure in the city of Ghent, Flanders.
Built in the early 19th century, its establishment was done on King William I's orders as a defense mechanism.
Although the citadel itself is no longer intact, it played significant roles in various conflicts such as the Belgian Revolution.
Today, remnants of the citadel contribute to the scenic and architectural charm of Ghent.
Its strategic location at the confluence of the Scheldt and Leie rivers adds to the historic allure of the site.
