Ghent, Brussels & Flanders Itmb

This is a double sided map with Ghent @ 1;9,000 & Brussels @ 1:11,000 on one side and with the Flanders Region @ 1:240,00 on the reverse side.

Ghent is one of the most historic cities in Europe.  A city of canals, it became wealthy during the Middle Ages by controlling the production of cloth over several centuries.  It is full of historic buildings and desperately needs a map or one becomes lost in the narrow streets that fill the ancient city centre.  However, Ghent is not all that big so it is combined on one side with a detailed map of Brussels, the nominal capital of Belgium and the location of the European Union HQ.  It was also the site of the famous world fair in 1968, the legacy of which is the Giant Atomium. 

The reverse side is a detailed map of the Flanders region from Liege to Lille and from south of Brussels to north of Antwerp.  This portion of both France and Belgium is full of historical importance and this is a detailed road map showing many fortresses/castles and monuments.
