Sint-Amandsberg: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Sint-Amandsberg is a residential district in the city of Ghent, located in the Flemish region of Belgium. This municipality, which merged with Ghent in 1977, takes its name from Saint Amand, a 7th-century missionary who played a significant role in spreading Christianity in Flanders. The area is characterized by its mixture of 19th and early 20th-century architecture, including notable worker's houses and more affluent bourgeois residences.

The Campo Santo cemetery, situated on a hill in Sint-Amandsberg, is one of the most significant historical cemeteries in Belgium, often referred to as the "Père-Lachaise of Ghent" due to its cultural and historical importance. The district maintains strong cultural connections to Ghent's artistic and intellectual life, while preserving its own distinct local identity within the larger urban area.
