The square was created in 1852, and is named after the Kungsporten, the main city gate that once guarded the fortified city’s moat. The bronze statue of King Charles IX dominates the square.

The Kungsportsavenyn, Gothenburg's most famous shopping street, begins here.

Many famous buildings line the square, such as the Stora Teatern theatre, and the nearby Palladium cinema. You can also hop onto one of the Paddam boat tours to explore the city and the surrounding areas from the canal.

Karl IX, who can be admired as a copper statue on Kungsportsplatsen, founded the city of Gothenburg in 1603.

The statue of Charles IX in Gothenburg shows the Swedish king in a proud pose on his horse and commemorates his role in the founding of the city in the 17th century.
