Naval City of Karlskrona

The city extends across 30 islands in the Blekinge archipelago, featuring naval structures, fortifications, shipyards, and administrative buildings spanning multiple centuries.

King Charles XI established Karlskrona in 1680 as Sweden's principal naval base, transforming it into one of Europe's largest maritime military complexes.

The Maritime Museum presents collections of naval artifacts, ship models, and exhibits detailing the technological developments of the Swedish Royal Navy across generations.

The Rope Walk building stretches 300 meters in length, making it one of the longest wooden structures in Sweden used for manufacturing ship ropes.
