Gustav Adolfs torg, Pedestrian zone in Norrmalm, Sweden.
The square features an equestrian statue of King Gustav II Adolf and stands at the intersection of four major streets in central Stockholm.
Established in 1805, this square became the first location in Sweden to receive an equestrian statue, created by sculptor Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque in 1791.
The Royal Opera House stands adjacent to the square, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs occupies the Arvfurstens Palace on its northern edge.
The square functions as a central reference point for measuring distances throughout Stockholm, with numerous transportation connections and walking paths available.
Two bronze lions, replicated from ancient Vatican sculptures dating to the 300s, guard the central monument since their installation in 1926.
