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.
