Karlskrona

Located on the south coast of Sweden, opposite Poland, it is made up of several small islands (Trosso, Salto, Pantarholmen). After the Danes, this region was redeemed by Sweden in 1658. King Karl XI, in 1680, decided to build a large naval base in the south of the country, on the Trossö peninsula, to protect its territories and control the Baltic Sea as much as possible, thus founding the city of Karlskrona. The naval base, still present, is no longer accessible, but you have the opportunity to see a submarine and several military ships from a certain distance. Furthermore, there is also a museum on the history of the Strumholmen where you can observe naval uniforms and impressive ship models. Over the centuries, the situation has changed becoming less important on a political level, on the contrary, in the historical and architectural fields, it has evolved very little, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. A good example is the central Baroque-style church (Fredrikskyrkan), dating back to 1690 and built on the highest point of the island. Not far from there is the "Admiralstorn", a large wooden tower from 1699, originally used to indicate the time to the workers of the shipyards. Finally, passing through the port, they make daily trips to Poland and Gdynia.
