Architecture

The Royal Palace and Slottsbacken

As darkness falls over Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace and Slottsbacken glow in warm lantern light. Cobbled courtyards, quiet cannons and centuries-old facades hold the stillness of the winter evening. These photographs follow the palace and its surrounding lanes after dark, from the obelisk on Slottsbacken to the festive lights of the season, where history and everyday city life meet.
