Malmö - Stortorget

In the center of Malmö, to the south of the harbor, is the Old Town (Gamla Staden), enclosed on all sides by canals. It has preserved much of its original layout, particularly around Stortorget, the main square. In the center of the square stands an equestrian statue (1896) of King Charles X, who conquered Skåne in 1658 and united it with Sweden.
