Birger Jarls torg

Birger Jarls Torg stands on Riddarholmen island, featuring paved walkways and surrounded by government buildings with classic Swedish architectural elements.

The square changed its name from Riddarholmstorget in the mid-19th century, receiving a statue of Birger Jarl, Stockholm's founder, in 1854.

The square functions as a central gathering point where visitors and residents connect with Stockholm's medieval roots through regular events and exhibitions.

Located near public transportation hubs, the square provides multiple seating areas and clear pathways for pedestrians exploring Stockholm's historic district.

The square sits on an island that houses administrative buildings, creating an official yet open environment where government activities merge with public spaces.
