 | | Stockholm is a medieval city founded according to the unanimous opinion of historians by Birger Jarl, a famous national leader who fortified the islet located at the outlet of Lake Malaren in the Baltic in the 13th century, thus creating a mighty, impregnable fortress. |
 | | StockholmÂ’s beauty is underlined by streams and creeks and bays, by green open spaces such as Djurgarden, the old royal deerhunting park with its famous oaks, by central parks such as Vasaparken, Kungstradgarden and Humlegarden, the old hop garden of bydone times. |
 | | In central Stockholm, the remnants of the Brunkeberg ridge which in times passed towered above Lower Norrmalm are now cut away to make room for huge skyscrapers in the city centre. |
