To reach the Kungliga Slottet (Royal Palace) in Gamla Stan (old town) from downtown, you must cross a bridge to Holy Ghost Island, walk through the courtyard of the Riksdagshuset (Parliament), and then cross another bridge to the Palace. Or you can bypass the Parliament by taking another bridge that seems to lead straight in to the north face of the Palace. Completed in 1754 after more than fifty years of construction, it is a fine example of Baroque and Rococo design. Scanned from a photographic print. © 1997 Lawrence I. Charters
