About this sheet

This is a wonderful bird's-eye plan/view of the oldest city in Sweden.

Visby, the largest city on the island of Gotland was an important Viking city and the main center of the Hanseatic League in the Baltic from the 12th-14th century. The characteristic ringwall (Ringmuren) and protected harbor are well depicted. A key at bottom provides the locations of the major buildings.
