Sergels torg

Sergels torg is one of the most important traffic intersections in the Stockholm district of Norrmalm. The modern square came into being as a result of the much-disputed redevelopment process in the 1950s and 1960s. The entire district of Klara, home mainly to artists and literary figures living in old, historically important buildings, fell victim to this process. The center of the tiered square is characterized by a large, round fountain, in the middle of which is a 131 ft (40 m) high glass obelisk.... The Kulturhuset (the House of Culture) is located on the southern end and is worth a visit thanks to its multifaceted performances, galleries, reading room, theater and cafés frequented by the Stockholm citizens. Five high-rise buildings from the 1960s are grouped around the square, which were all designed by famous Swedish architects. more
