Stortorget, Central pedestrian zone in Lund, Sweden.

Stortorget is the main public square in Lund with stone paving that creates an open gathering space. Surrounding it are shops, cafes, and restaurants that line the adjacent streets, forming the heart of the city center.

Stortorget existed by the mid-11th century as a triangular open space formed by a widening of Stora Södergatan. The whole square was covered with wooden planks in the 12th century and probably began to be paved with stone in the 13th. The town hall on its eastern side dates from 1830, not the 14th century.

The square serves as the city's main gathering place where daily life and public events unfold naturally. Throughout the year, residents and visitors come together for markets, celebrations, and community activities that shape local identity.

Only bicycles and utility vehicles may cross the square today; through traffic was removed after the 1960s, when it still served as the local bus hub. The eastern side holds the 1830 town hall next to Klas Anshelm's 1950s Stadshall, while the western side is a continuous row of buildings in the Sankt Clemens block. Shops face the open paving, including the Glasskulturen kiosk mid-block at Stortorget 8.

A modern sculpture titled 'Space Field of Peace' stands in the square as a notable focal point. This artwork was returned to its original location in 2023 after road modifications altered the space.
