You would like to know one of the better medieval cities conserved of the northern countries? Then you should direct you to the city of Visby, located in the zone of Gotland in Sweden.

The start of the history of Visby is uncertain, but is known that has been a center of merchandise around the year 900 after it was common and that was inhabited by the famous Vikings. Then they passed for this place the Hanseatic League, and next to her the city of Visby developed enormously. In 1361, the city was conquered by the King Veldemar Atterdag of Denmark. Subsequently it was plundered by the Brothers Victual, the pirates that sailed the Baltic Sea. In 1411, the King Eric of Pomerania built the castle here and he was established for a period of twelve years, during this epoch Visby became a nest of pirates, and the commerce was interrupted. At this time is precise to explain you why to the city him is called “Place of sacrifices”. It so happens that the Germans set on fire all the churches of Visby, save the cathedral. Nowadays we can see the ruins that remain of them!
In 1645 the city again was conquered, this time by Sweden, after 300 years of Danish occupation. For that then it was signed the tried Brömsebro. In the middle of the century 18 some intents by officials of the swedish government were done to improve the standard of living, but little has been achieved. It is not to principles of the century 19, that Visby returns to its height in the commerce and the harbor industry, but the conquests do not finish here therefore in 1808 was dominated by Russia, but was taken peacefully by the Swedes of return after only a pair of months.
