Plus, if you wander around breathtakingly beautiful Sint-Niklaas church, you would not miss those statues like in a play...

I hadn't spotted them this time but years ago... A group of statues (a dozen of figurines) near the monument. Amazing.

Update on Oct 2004: Here sitting in front of Minardschouwburg is, according to Gent local Erwin (Joeplaboem), Romain Deconinck. "He was one of the most famous theatre players in Gent dialect." I remember Dannie (Irisbe) had told it but I forgot. Thanks to both.

    Thank you for sharing, I loved it Gent when I was there. Brussels, Brugge, and finally in Gent a couple days. I LOVED Belgium and hope to get back sometime soon. Visit my pages. Beautiful country and very nice people! Lori in Seattle
