Götaplatsen

Götaplatsen is a public square in Gothenburg, Sweden, at the southern end of Avenyn, the city's main boulevard.

[1] The square was inaugurated when Gothenburg held a major international industrial exhibition, In 1923, celebrating the city's 300th anniversary.

Götaplatsen was designed by the architects Sigfrid Ericson and Arvid Bjerke and construction began in 1921.

Much of the southern part of Götaplatsen is terraced in stone with wide stairs leading up to the Gothenburg Museum of Art's seven high arches.

Across the gallery, which is located as a side-house to the Gothenburg Museum of Art at Götaplatsen's southeastern corner, stood a triumphal arch which was the entrance to the exhibition area during the Gothenburg Exhibition.
