Raoul Wallenbergs torg

Raoul Wallenbergs torg, Memorial square at Nybroplan in Stockholm, Sweden

Raoul Wallenbergs torg is a square at Nybroplan in central Stockholm, inaugurated on 11 December 1987. Its memorial, Till Raoul Wallenberg by Danish artist Kirsten Ortwed, unveiled on 24 August 2001 by King Carl XVI Gustaf, consists of twelve sphinx-like sculptures cast in bronze and Wallenberg's signature, also in bronze.

The square was inaugurated on 11 December 1987 and named after Raoul Wallenberg. In the early 1990s a jury chaired by Per Wästberg chose Kirsten Ortwed's proposal "Till Raoul Wallenberg", unveiled by King Carl XVI Gustaf on 24 August 2001. In June 2006 the Jewish Community and the City of Stockholm added "Vägen", a stone sphere with an inscribed track leading to the Great Synagogue.

The square is named after Raoul Wallenberg, and its memorial, Till Raoul Wallenberg by Kirsten Ortwed, was unveiled on 24 August 2001 by King Carl XVI Gustaf. It consists of twelve sphinx-like bronze sculptures and Wallenberg's signature cast in bronze. A ceremony is held here every 27 January, Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The square sits where Nybroplan meets Nybrokajen, and the event area is reserved for cultural events only, so no product or company promotion takes place there. The Holocaust memorial ceremony is held here every 27 January. The stone path with railway tracks leads from the stone sphere to Stockholm's Great Synagogue.

What sets this square apart is that commercial events are prohibited here, which preserves its solemn character and purpose as a memorial space. Annual ceremonies take place, particularly on January 27th during International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
