Malmo is the capital of the province of Skane in southwestern Sweden. In the 16th century it was a major fishing port, competing with Copenhagen as Scandinavia`s most influential city. Today the city is well-known for its busy harbor, as well as for its rich architectural heritage.
The imposing 16th-century Malmohus was built by the Danish king Christian , when Skane formed part of Denmark. It contains the Malmomuseer (Malmo Museums), which include the Art Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the City Museum, the Science & Technology and Maritime Museum, and the Kommendants Hus (Commander`s House).
The Dutch Renaissance style is evident in Malmo`s impressive Radhuset (Town Hall), which dates from 1546 and dominates the city`s main square, Stortorget. Northeast of here is the 14th-century St. Petri`s Kyrks, built in the Baltic Gothic style. The Church`s most beautiful features include the altarpiece (1611), Scandinavia`s largest, and a wonderfully ornate pulpit. Admit the city`s maze of pedestrianize
