Baggensgatan, Pedestrian zone in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden

Baggensgatan runs south from Bollhusgränd near Köpmantorget square through the heart of Stockholm's medieval district, featuring historical buildings and narrow cobblestone paths.

The street received its name in 1596 as Jakob Baggæs gathe, honoring Admiral Jakob Bagge who obtained property at number 30 from King Gustav Vasa in 1536.

Number 14 on Baggensgatan served as residence to Elisabeth Olin, the first prima donna during King Gustav III's opera inauguration in 1773.

The street connects multiple historical landmarks and provides direct access to shops and cafes while maintaining its medieval character through preserved architecture.

The building at number 27 displays the coat of arms of Scotch Anders Keith and later functioned as a presbytery for Sigismund of Sweden and Poland.
