    Gamla stan (Swedish; actually gamla staden, "the old town") is the old town of the Swedish capital Stockholm, located on the island of Stadsholmen. It is located in the Södermalm district. In Gamla stan you can find the castle built by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as well as the two churches Storkyrkan (St. Nicholas Church) and Tyska kyrkan (German Church). In the Storkyrkan you can find the outstanding medieval equestrian sculpture of St. George fighting the dragon by Bernt Notke, which can also be found in bronze in the old town.

    As a tourist you really have to come here.
