Katarinaberget, Steep hill in Sodermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

The granite hill rises 47 meters above sea level at Fiskargatan, forming a natural fault scarp between Götgatan and Renstiernas gata.

The area underwent substantial changes after the 1723 fire, with three wooden mansion houses surviving on the southern side of Mäster Mikaels gata.

The northern section of Södermalm features a combination of residential buildings and parks that represent different periods of Stockholm's development.

Modern parking facilities within the mountain accommodate 550 vehicles, while maintaining multiple access points from Katarinavägen and Tjärhovsgatan.

Between 1952 and 1957, engineers constructed the world's largest bomb shelter inside the mountain, designed to protect 25,000 people.
