Read the City in Stone - A Walk Through Old Town's Architectural History
Where: Gustav Adolfs torg, Stockholm
Organizer: Den Gröna Guiden
Category: guidning
Have you ever wondered why the houses in Gamla stan look the way they do? Behind plastered facades, stone portals, and old windows lie traces from several hundred years of Stockholm's history.
Join us on a city walk where we learn to read the city like a book. We'll lift our gaze from the cobblestones and look for details that reveal the age, ideals, and people of the houses – from the narrow alleys of the Middle Ages to the splendor of the Swedish Empire and the changes of later centuries.
