Es el centro geográfico, universitario, religioso, político y administrativo de Asturias, sede de la Junta General del Principado, de sus instituciones, de la Universidad de Oviedo, del Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias, de los Premios Princesa de Asturias así como de la archidiócesis de Oviedo.

De Muide is a district in Ghent that changed from a village into an urban industrial area when the Ghent-Terneuzen canal was dug in the second quarter of the 19th century. It was characterised by an ever-growing port infrastructure and industrial activity.
In the second half of the 20th century, the decline came as the port moved further north.
This downward spiral was reversed as the district was systematically refurbished. Young families and creative people began to find the district attractive again and brought a new élan to it.
Here too, the City of Ghent has ensured that part of the city's industrial heritage is preserved and incorporated into the new environment.
Gelede wagen 61 uit Bochum-Gelschenkirchen in Gent. Door materieelgebrek werd eerst geprobeerd om S-wagens uit Henegouwen over te nemen. Echter de verhoudingen tussen de Walen en de Vlamingen lieten dit mislukken. Ook is geprobeerd om wagens uit het Franse Saint Etiene over te nemen (8 stuks). Doch deze bevielen niet. De wagens uit Bochum zijn ook geen succes geworden.

The old court building in Genth was built in 1846, designed by the city's architect Louis Roelandt (1786-1864) in Neoclassicistic style. In front is a statue of Hippolyte Metdepenningen, a 19th century lawyer and politician from Ghent. Nowadays it's only in use by the court of appeals. The other courts have moved to the new building.
Recently you could see here an album about the Bernadette quarter in Ghent. This district will be demolished at the end of 2022. Meanwhile, many street artists had painted the walls of the abandoned houses. That grafitti will disappear in the rubble. Let them now be preserved on photo in this album.

In 2018 kwamen enkele vrouwen in opstand omdat zij geen stroppendrager mochten zijn en de mannen wel! De stroppendrager is het symbool van Gent en gaat terug naar gebeurtenissen in de 16de eeuw.
