Statue of king Karl X on Stortorget place
Malmö, Sweden (SE)
Stortorget is as big as 2 500 square metres. It's often used for big events, such as the annual Malmö festival for example. Horse sports and concerts are also arranged here.

But the square's history goes further back in time. Stortorget is Malmö's oldest square and was constructed by mayor Jörgen Kock in the 1530's.

Before the square was established there used to be a convent on the place, the Helgeands-convent. Stortorget quickly became the biggest trade-square in the north.
