 The ruins of St Per
and St Hans, two churches that were closely connected. The total area was 1700 m³, compared to the still excisting cathedral S:ta Maria
with its 1060 m³. A lot of magnificent churches were built during the 12th and 13th centuries. Many of them are today ruins, and Visby is well-deserved
called 'The city of roses and ruins'.
The button 'Map Visby' directs to sights of Visby.

 Visby has influences of old German architecture from the Medieval Times. As a trading town the
biggest buildings, apart from the churches, were warehouses with stepped gables. A view from the old harbour, nowadays a park called Almedalen.
In summertime Gotland is turned into a tourist island, and is often and humorously called 'Limestone Hawaii'. Sorry, but there are no photos from the sandy beaches on this site....
