The Hanseatic Town of Visby, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Sweden, is a remarkably preserved medieval trading center on the island of Gotland. Its 13th-century ramparts, over 200 warehouses, and historic churches, like the Sankta Maria Cathedral, showcase its past as a key Baltic Sea hub within the Hanseatic League. The town's cobblestone streets and well-maintained ruins offer a glimpse into its prosperous history, making it a standout example of Northern European medieval architecture and urban planning.
