STONE CITY (STENSTADEN)

A small guidebook is available at the tourist office to help you understand the French and Italian-inspired architecture of the buildings in the city center, which the Swedes call the "stone city". Most of the buildings were built after the great fire of 1888: there are no less than 573 buildings built between 1891 and 1895, some in the Art Nouveau style. From now on, this visit can be done with an audioguide. For those who are passionate about late ^19th century architecture.
