Notes of an architect. Drawings and projects of the author) OLAUS MAGNUS , , ROME 1544 Stockholm is of course is in the midst of the water as Venice, and it is well demonstrated how both of them are built on wooden logs... JAKOB ZIEGLER, 1532 city and capital of Sweden, is fortified by nature and art. It lies in the middle of the lake, such as Venice from which it gets its name, inasmuch as the piles or logs ERIK DAHLBERG, 1698-1703, VOLUME I -known and royal Swedish metropolis, rose up in the Svealand and was built in that portion of land between Baltic sea and Lake Mälaren inhabitated But as the city of Venice, it is composed of many islands, some of them BAEDECKER, , 1878 The situation of the town on islands, on a plain , and on rocky hills , surrounded by water and islands in almost every direction, is exceedingly picturesque. Stockholm has therefore not inaptly been called the ' Venice of the North', and has sometimes been compared with Genua also ; but no such comparison can convey an adequate idea of the place, which differs in many respects from all , STOCKHOLM 1909 RAGNAR JOSEPHSON, 1500, Stockholm was named the IN , 1923 the lagoon city gave just a few designing references to his admirer Scandinavian.

PAUL CLEMEN Stockholm City has often been called «the Venice of the North»; but it is not till now this description has become fact. The Piazzetta is to be found in the garden of the City Hall. The open colonnade of the southern facade carries thoughts to Venice, but more Palazzo Correr than in Johnny Roosval, Stockholms stadshus vid dess invigning midsommarafton 1923, AB G. Tisells tekn.
