Ghent City Hall, located in the historic city of Ghent, Belgium, is an architectural masterpiece that showcases a blend of different styles due to its prolonged construction period. The building's façade, facing the Botermarkt, exemplifies late Gothic architecture with its ornate details and intricate stonework, while the side facing Hoogpoort reflects the Renaissance style. Construction began in the early 16th century and continued for over a century, resulting in this unique combination of styles. Inside, the city hall houses impressive rooms such as the Pacification Hall and the Throne Room, which are adorned with beautiful tapestries and woodwork.
