The Hanseatic Rose — Wisby, 1350
This is Visby at the height of its Hanseatic wealth: a compact limestone town ringed by a high stone wall and a dozen church towers rising above crowded packhouses. The walk follows the harbour pool and Strandgatan, passes merchants' yards and gate defences, and finishes on the heights where the town's churches and ships can be seen together.
22 scenes, 15 streets, squares and views, 7 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Visby as it stood in 1350 (“Visby”).
