A visit to the charming town of Karlskrona is an
exciting encounter with Sweden’s proud navy traditions. Nowhere
else is the naval history more present than in this port, that has
been home of the Royal Swedish Navy since the 17th century. The
presence of the navy has given the town its distinctive
architectural qualities. In fact its unique layout with roots in
the baroque and the well-preserved dockyards dating back from the
17th and 18th century have placed Karlskrona on UNESCO’s
prestigious World Heritage list. The dockyards are one of the few
remaining docks in the world specially designed for the
construction of sailing warships.
Despite its militant past, Karlskrona is a quiet and peaceful town
with lots of opportunities for relaxing and enjoying the scenery –
on land or from boat trip in the beautiful skerries. |
