... Pretty view of the colorful houses on Stortorget square in the Old Town... Stortorget ("The Big Square") is not only the main square in Stockholm's old town, but also the oldest square in the city... it’s lined by beautiful buildings and houses dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, once owned by wealthy merchants... home to several architectural monuments: the house of Schantz, the house of Grill, the exchange building, the Stortorgsbrunnen well... Thanks a lot Gian Luca and Raffaella! \_(♥‿♥)_/

Sweden is part of the Scandinavian peninsula in Northern Europe and the 3rd largest country in Europe, the 1st in Northern Europe and shares a border with Norway, Finland, and Denmark.
Stockholm sits on 14 islands that are connected by 57 bridges. Stockholm was first mentioned as a town in 1252 and was largely built by the Swedish ruler Birger Jarl. It grew rapidly as a result of a trade agreement made with the German city of Lübeck.
