Mariatorget, Public park in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

The park features wide gravel pathways bordered by tall lime trees, with a central bronze fountain depicting Thor's fishing expedition.

Originally established in 1759 as Hornstorget, the space served as a training ground and marketplace before becoming Adolf Fredriks Square from 1768 to 1958.

The centerpiece fountain, 'Thor's Fishing', created by Anders Wissler in the early 1900s, represents Nordic mythology in urban landscaping.

The park includes a playground, public restrooms, and a kiosk, with accessible paths connecting to multiple public transportation options nearby.

The park maintains traditional boules courts where local players gather regularly, continuing a long-standing Swedish social tradition.
