Vasa Stockholm, 1560
Stockholm in 1560 is Gustav Vasa's royal city: a densely packed medieval island dominated by the royal Tre Kronor castle and the Great Church, surrounded by busy wharves. Visitors will pass grain and iron squares, narrow merchant streets where German burghers trade, the castle slopes and waterfront chains, and islands with monastic ruins and shipyards.
34 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Stockholm as it stood in 1560 (“History of Stockholm”).
