    This is a very beautiful 1300s gothic cathedral in Gamla Stan. The tower was covered for renovations but inside was such a treat. You have to pay to get in but if you're interested in architecture...

    Stunning church. A must in Stockholm- top object is St George fighting the dragon sculpture. Very unique, medieval masterpiece. Church also contains an image of Stockholm from XV century.
  • By Juan Luna
    A must see when you visit Stockholm! The cathedral is beautiful and you can find many important pieces of religious art. One of the most important one here is Saint George fighting a dragon!
