Located in East Flanders, Aalst is an important town that is well connected to Brussels by train. It was first mentioned in the 9th century, and featured an ancient villa. Over time, the city grew in leaps and bounds and emerged as an important textile center. Hops and cut flowers are grown here by farmers. The carnival of Aalst during the Lent season is a popular event. The major landmark is the belfry with 52 bells, touted to be one of the oldest in the country. Other sights to visit are the sculpture of Dirk Martens and Saint Martin’s Collegiate Church.
