The Grand Plaza is a square in the center of the old city and the oldest square in Stockholm. It gradually formed around the old city in the Middle Ages. The square has two iconic ancient buildings, one is red and the other is yellow. The red house is the earliest coffee shop in Stockholm. The yellow house is the world's first national bank and is said to be more than 320 years old. There is a monument to a well in the square, the original site of Stockholm's earliest wells. 📚 The Black History of the Grand Square In November 1520, King Christian II of Denmark massacred nearly 100 Swedish royal nobility, clergy, Swedish leaders and elites who opposed him in this square. He called the "Stockholm tragedy" and shocked the world. 💡 tips: There is often a man dressed like Van Gogh in the square painting oil paintings of the Grand Plaza over there. Those finished products can be sold, but the price is not expensive, it is recommended to see 😁.
