The burial mounds of Gamla Uppsala are among Sweden's most significant archaeological sites and predominantly date from the Vendel period in the 6th century. Particularly striking are the three large so-called Royal Mounds, in which members of the social elite of the time were buried; their exact identity, however, is not secured. Together with other graves, settlement traces, and cult sites, the mounds bear witness to the fact that Gamla Uppsala was already an important political and religious center of Scandinavia long before Christianization.
