Sergels torg

Sergels torg is a public square in central Stockholm built on two levels, with a sunken pedestrian plaza below and a roundabout at street level above. The lower plaza displays a black and white triangular floor pattern, while staircases and ramps link the different heights to surrounding streets and shops.

The square was completed in 1967 as part of a major redevelopment of the Klara neighborhood, which demolished older structures to create a modern city center. This urban renewal reshaped central Stockholm throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

The cultural center Kulturhuset borders the square's southern edge, offering theater performances, exhibitions, and various artistic events throughout the year.

The lower level provides direct access to the metro and several bus lines, while the upper level borders main shopping streets. The square remains open all day and night, though most shops are active during daytime hours.

A 37-meter glass obelisk stands in the center of the roundabout and glows from within at night. The illuminated structure serves as a landmark visible from different parts of downtown.
