A more than special place. Magical, incredible and people with an unforgettable welcome. Thanks also to Mr. Gabriele.

Very beautiful country

Nice story, after half an hour looking for the road that is marked only on the provincial road at the bottom of the valley and is no longer signposted in the village, we arrive here to find that it is closed without any indication with a really nice private property sign

Castle in a beautiful panoramic position but closed, but I liked the very characteristic Castel Madruzzo village with particular corners and decorated with flowers.

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.
