A disease that infected the city of which there is no cure

"A disease that infected the city of which there is no cure"

Hi, I'd like to ask if the 'of' belongs to 'that' or 'which' in the sentence.

Thank you

I'd say it belongs to 'which'. For example, You can easily say: A disease of which there is no cure. So, the relationship between 'of' and 'which' is much stronger than between 'of' and 'that'.
