     Stortorget (Swedish. The Big Square) is a small public and most charming square in Gamla Stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden.  It is the oldest square in Stockholm, the historical centre on which the medieval urban conglomeration gradually came into being.

   Ever since the thirteenth century, this square has formed the heart of Gamla Stan. It is bordered by beautiful patrician houses, surrounded by coffee shops and restaurant and the entrance to the Nobel museum. Today the square mostly attracts tourists, many of whom take a break at one of the inviting cafés that border the square.
