Imperial Stockholm, 1690
Stockholm in 1690 is the capital of a rising Baltic empire: a dense medieval island core ringed by new baroque palaces, naval quays and broad planned ridges. The walk follows the city’s working edges — castle and royal docks, palaces on Riddarholmen, the House of Nobility’s roofline, grain and silver unloading at the quays — before finishing on a high ridge overlooking the straits.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Stockholm as it stood in 1690 (“History of Stockholm”).
