Κλειστό τον χειμώνα.

Η αίθουσα ανατομίας αξίζει πραγματικά να τη δει κανείς και από μόνη της αξίζει την επίσκεψη.

The Fyrisån is Uppland's longest river, stretching 95 kilometers. It rises near Dannemora and flows into a bay of Lake Mälaren called Ekoln, directly south of Uppsala, through whose city center it flows. The name Fyrisån was coined primarily by Olof Rudbeck in the second half of the 17th century; before that, the river was called Salaån.

Built from 1549 onwards as a fortress by Gustav Vasa, the castle was only rebuilt into a grand Renaissance palace after a fire in 1572. The old cannons on the Styrbiskop bastion still bear witness to its fortified early years.

Within the remaining ruins of Uppsala's original 16th-century castle, the Vasaborgen Museum offers insights into the history of Swedish rulers, recounting tales of kings and queens, princes and princesses. Guided tours led by costumed guides also reveal gruesome details of gruesome and violent sudden deaths. The museum is open from June 1st to September 1st.

Uppsala, a city of 175,000 inhabitants, is Sweden's fourth-largest metropolitan area. It can be wonderfully viewed from the hill in the city center where Gustav Vasa built his castle in 1549. It has been the ecclesiastical center of Sweden since 1164 and is the seat of the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. The university, founded in 1477, is the oldest university in Scandinavia. The cityscape is still defined by the Fyrisån River, the cathedral, and the castle. Uppsala is rich in historical buildings but also has some very modern areas.

What would old fortresses be – anywhere in the world – without these decorative old cannons?

Here you have a fantastic view over the city. Don't forget your camera!
