Gustaf Adolfs torg, Central square in Nordstaden, Gothenburg, Sweden
The rectangular city square features a prominent bronze statue of King Gustav II Adolf surrounded by notable architectural landmarks and the harbor canal.
Originally named Stortorget until 1854, the square received its current name following the installation of King Gustav II Adolf's commemorative statue.
The square functions as the administrative center of Gothenburg, bordered by the City Hall, Stock Exchange building, and Law Court extension.
Multiple tram lines and bus routes connect at the square, making it an accessible starting point for exploring central Gothenburg's attractions.
The current bronze statue is the third version, as the first had poor casting quality and the second sank in the North Sea during transport.
