Gamla staden, Medieval district in Malmö, Sweden.

Gamla staden features four main squares connected by narrow cobblestone streets, surrounded by canals on three sides and bordered by Slottsgatan street.

The district emerged in the 1250s around Flynderborg castle, with initial development concentrated near the intersection of Norra Vallgatan and Hamngatan streets.

Saint Peter's Church stands as the central religious monument, while Thottska House and Jørgen Kock's House represent traditional Swedish architecture.

The neighborhood contains two shopping centers, Hansacompagniet and Caroli city, plus numerous restaurants concentrated around Lilla Torg square.

The district divides into two distinct sections: a maintained western portion with original structures and an eastern area reconstructed during the 1960s.
