24. Sigtuna - Sweden's Oldest Town

from A Flatpack History of Sweden · host A Flatpack History of Sweden

We're out and about again! This time we visit Sweden's oldest town, Sigtuna. Founded by Viking leader Erik Segersäll and improved on by his son and King, Olof Skötkonung, the town still has lots of remains from that time visible today. Listen to us explore the runestones, church ruins and Sweden's oldest main street, in our second on-location recording. Unfortunately, it also has some not very podcast-friendly ducks! Bonus: brief history of the Dala horse included in the review section at the end.
