Biskajersplein

Biskajersplein is a small square in the historic core of Ghent, close to the medieval Patershol quarter. Its name may allude to Basque merchant connections that shaped Flemish trading cities during their Hanseatic heyday, though documented history of the square itself is scarce. The surrounding stepped-gable facades are characteristic of old Ghent's urban fabric. Today it functions primarily as a quiet transit point within the city's dense network of historic lanes — on-the-ground verification is recommended for a fuller picture.
