I start here a new series about the city where I live now. A series with historical pictures in the autumn.

Visby is the largest city on the Swedish island of Gotland; it is arguably the best-preserved medieval city in Scandinavia and has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the most notable historical remains are the 3.4 km long stone wall called Ringmuren that encircles the city and the old church ruins.

The name "Visby" comes from the Old Norse Vis, (genitive singular of Vi) meaning sacrificial place, and bær, meaning "farm" or "settlement". An alternate derivation would be from the Polish "wyspa" (pronounced "vis-pah") which means simply "island".

This picture present a litlle part from the "ringmuren", I will come back...:)

Hello Mihaela,

ruins and nature, ruins in nature. I like that very much and you offer us a good example of it. You were not lucky about the weather, but still a good shot.
