If you want to know the Argaric culture, here is a good opportunity. Good site, quite advanced excavations and the explanation of the guides is very complete. You also have a well-conditioned interpretation center and ample parking.

Spännande att bli guidad runt i området och få höra om livet för så länge sedan

It was a very interesting excursion although we do not have much interest or knowledge of archeology. We were extremely lucky to get there without tickets and find a group, usually you can't get in without a reservation. It charges 5.60 eur per person, you can enter with the dog.

Visby Cathedral

Visby Cathedral (also known as St. Mary’s Church) is the only survived medieval church in Visby. It was originally built for German merchants and inaugurated in 1225. Around the year 1350 the church was enlarged and converted into a basilica. The two-storey magazine was also added then above the nave as a warehouse for merchants.

Following the Reformation, the church was transformed into a parish church for the town of Visby. All other churches were abandoned. Shortly after the Reformation, in 1572, Gotland was made into its own Diocese, and the church designated its cathedral.

There is not much left of the original interior. The font is made of local red marble in the 13th century. The pulpit was made in Lübeck in 1684. There are 400 graves under the church floor.
