University Park, Uppsala

The park was created in its present form following the completion of the centrally situated University Main Building on the site during the 1880s, and retains much of its original character today.

Many historical sights surround the park, including the 19th century University building, Södermanlands-Nerikes nation, Gustavianum, Ekerman House and the 18th-century Archbishop's Residence.

Before the University Main Building stands the monument to Erik Gustaf Geijer (1783–1847), poet and historian, which was sculpted by John Börjesson and erected in 1888.

Before the creation of the park, the ruins including the lower levels of a round tower were still visible, which is the origin of the nearby street name Rundelsgränd.

From the 17th to the 19th centuries the university's excercitia hall was situated here, where the upper-class students were able to practice riding, fencing, dancing and modern languages.
