- Sigtuna, Sweden’s oldest town, is an attractive small town with picturesque wooden houses, winding lanes, gardens and attractive shops and cafés. A millennium ago, Sigtuna was the most important town in the country. It was founded around 980 AD by Olof Skötkonung who built a royal hall in the middle of the town. The first Swedish coins, were minted there.
The city also has church ruins and a brick church from the Middle Ages, buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries and the Town Hall built in 1744, the smallest in Scandinavia. - 62 photo(s) (103 MB)
