Stallbron

Stretching some 20 meters over Stallkanalen it connects Riksgatan passing through the Parliament Building on Helgeandsholmen to the square Mynttorget on Stadsholmen from where Västerlånggatan extends it further south.

[1] [2] Occupying one of the most central locations in Stockholm, Stallbron is, arguably, the site of the oldest bridge in the city.

As an extension to Västerlånggatan it was directed towards the east, stretching diagonally across Helgeandsholmen, and leading to Gustav Adolfs torg.

[1][2] When plans to relocate the Riksdag and the Riksbank to Helgeandsholmen were being considered around the turn of the century, this diagonal street was finally replaced by a street perpendicular to the northern front of the Stockholm Palace, much in accordance to the plans once drawn by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger.

It was subsequently supplemented by a parallel bridge on its west side in 1982 covering a subway connecting the Parliament Building (Riksdagen) with the Government Offices (Kanslihuset).
