Karlaplan

Fountain at Karlaplan

Karlaplan is an open park-plaza area in Östermalm in Stockholm. Karlaplan was founded in the late 19th century, inspired by the star shaped street patterns of Paris. The plaza is named in honour of all the swedish kings called Karl, like Karl X Gustav, Karl XI and Karl XII.

August Strindberg lived at Karlaplan 1901-1908. During World War I, the park was used to grow vegetables.
