Almedalen, Urban park in Visby, Sweden

Almedalen extends along the former harbor area of Visby, featuring green spaces, pathways, and mature elm trees planted in the 1870s.

The location served as the primary harbor for medieval Visby until post-glacial uplift made the waters too shallow for continued maritime use.

The park transforms into Sweden's largest democratic forum during Almedalen Week, where political parties gather to present their positions and engage in debates.

The park contains numerous seating areas, informational signs about local history, and connects directly to the Visby Strand conference center and Gotland County Library.

Natural geological processes gradually transformed this location from a medieval port into an urban park through post-glacial rebound over several centuries.
