Gamla Stan (Old Town), covering four islands in the heart of Stockholm, is where the city was born, first as a fortified place, growing gradually to become Sweden's capital. The lacy iron spire on Riddarholmen (Knight's Island), is atop the ancient Riddarholmskyrkan (Knight's Island Church), the final resting place for Sweden's kings since 1290. The iron spire is a relatively modern addition. Scanned from a photographic print. © 1997 Lawrence I. Charters
