Introduction

Stortorget is the oldest square in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, the medieval market and civic centre of the city. Ochre, mustard and grey-green merchant guild houses press in on all sides, their gables and narrow windows keeping the scale of the Hanseatic trading era. The old well and cobbles pull the eye back centuries. The Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520 also took place here, giving the bright facades a darker undertone. Today the square anchors the old town's walking routes, with cafe tables and craft shops along its edges.
