    Every midday you can see a big show here (and in the Royal Palace patio), which will perform the Royal Band.

    The Gustav III:s Obelisk monument is a tall monument adjacent to the Royal Palace in the old town of Stockholm. It is considered to be the very center point. The original was unveiled in 1800 and commemorates the deeds of Stockholm’s citizenry during the Russo-Swedish War. The original monument was replaced in 2020 due to age and weather damage

    The centre of Stockholm is a great place to visit, and an evening walk around the Royal Palaces gives a great insight into the local and national history of Sweden.

    Gustav III's Obelisk, which can be found in the center of Stockholm, is a monument to both Swedish history and the Enlightenment period. King Gustav III of Sweden is honored with a historical monument called Gustav III. Gustav III was a major role in the Swedish Enlightenment and a patron of the arts.
