Visby - Market Square

(Local Name: Stora Torget) The Lybska Gränd leads from the Clematishus to the Visby Market Square (Stora Torget), on the south side of which are the ruins of St Catherine's Church (St Karin) of about 1230, which originally belonged to a Franciscan friary. To the north of the square, in St Hansgatan, are the ruined 13th century churches of the Trinity (Drotten) and St Lars, with massive towers which formed part of the town's defenses.
