Stortorget, Karlskrona

The square lies on the highest point of the island and is bounded by several monumental buildings.

The full extent of the square cannot be viewed completely since the Frederick Church lies in near the middle of the square, slightly to the west of the actual center where a statue of Charles XI stands.

The large size of the square in relation to the surrounding city attests to the significance its planners placed on Karlskrona at its founding as Sweden's principal naval base in 1680.

East of Klaipedaplatsen on the north west side of the square is Bankhuset and Hotell Statt.

In Sigtuna, in the southern tower of the church, there is a carillon with 35 bells that where installed in 1967 by Bergholtz clockworks.

It was built 1861 - 1863 as a water reservoir on Trossö in Karlskrona in connection with the construction of waterworks from the mainland.
