Antwerp (French: Anvers) is a city in the Flemish Region in Belgium. It is the capital of the province of Antwerp and of the district of the same name. Antwerp has approximately 529,000 inhabitants (2020), making it the largest municipality in Belgium in terms of population. With 20,429 hectares, it is the third largest municipality, after Tournai and Couvin. The city is largely located on the right bank of the Scheldt and has an extensive port area with international freight transport. It is the second largest port in Europe after Rotterdam. The petrochemical activity near Antwerp is of great economic importance. The city is also a world center for diamond trade. Antwerp is also the capital of the electoral district of Antwerp. The municipality itself has twelve judicial cantons. The city is also the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Antwerp and the Anglican Archdeaconate of Northwestern Europe. The inhabitants of Antwerp are sometimes called Sinjoren, after the Spanish word señor. The city itself is abbreviated to 't Stad' by some of its inhabitants and is sometimes referred to as the 'koekstad', the latter first because of the gingerbread in the sixteenth century and later because of the many cake factories in Antwerp. De Beukelaer and Parein were the best known of these.
