Sint-Baafsplein is to Ghent what the Ile Saint-Louis is to Paris: the heart of the city.
Here, on this island, near the place where the Scheldt and the Leie meet, Ghent was founded. The name, derived from the Celtic Ganda or confluence, literally refers to it.
The three powers meet on this central square: the citizenry with its mighty Belfry, the intellect with the stately theater and the church, with the impressive St. Bavo's Cathedral.
