Medborgarplatsen

[1][2] The development of the citizen site was due to the railway's progress and the construction of Stockholm Södra station in the late 1850s.

The original exits did not open onto the square, but to the nearby street Folkungagatan.

In 2001, Hammarby Fotboll celebrated its first victory in the Allsvenskan in front of about 35,000 supporters in the square.

Medborgarplatsen has a small ice-skating rink which is turned into a terrace with benches in the summer.

Medborgarplatsen is also where Anna Lindh, the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, held her last public speech before she was assassinated on September 10, 2003.
