Stockholm, Sweden 069 - Gamla Stan (Old Town)

Recommended View On Black, large - Recomendado Ver en Fondo Negro, grande

The centre of the Swedish capital is divided into different districts grown in the heat of Gamla Stan, a set of narrow cobbled and medieval streets, which originated the city of Stockholm in the thirteenth century. This is where after a revolt and execution of the swedish regent Sture by the king of Denmark, started the release of swedish people from the Danish hands of the Vasa dynasty. In this old town, the embryo of modern city include the buildings of the Royal Theatre and the Royal Opera, a place of special atmosphere, rich shops, bookstores, antiques, palaces, churches and museums. Many medieval wineries are now restaurants and cafes.

El centro de la capital sueca se divide en distintos barrios crecidos al calor de Gamla Stan, un conjunto de empedradas y estrechas calles medievales, en las que se originó la ciudad de Estocolmo en el siglo XIII. Es aquí donde tras una sublevación y ejecución del regente sueco Sture por el rey de Dinamarca, se gestó la liberación sueca de los daneses de manos de la dinastía de los Vasa. En este casco antiguo, embrión de la ciudad moderna, destacan los edificios del Teatro Real, y la Real Ópera, un lugar de atmósfera especial, donde abundan tiendas, librerías, anticuarios, palacetes, iglesias y museos. Muchas bodegas medievales son ahora restaurantes y cafés.
