For a whole week in August people dress themselves in clothes as true to the Medieval Times as possible, the year 1361. The
old-looking town of Visby with its well-preserved town wall makes Medeltidsveckan even better. The town gives the impression that you have stepped back in time.
Of many towns in Sweden, this town is maybe the most beautiful. And on the island there are over 90 churches, many of them built in the 12th century. The pictures will probably inspire you. |
