Sweden: Karlskrona

Last Saturday I got three postcards: one from Sweden, one from Italy and one from Portugal.

The card from Sweden shows the Citadel of Drottningskär in Karlskrona. Karlskrona is an outstanding example of a late 17th century European planned naval city. It was founded in 1680 by King Karl XI as new base for the fleet of Sweden, back then a major European power. The Naval Port of Karlskrona is since 1998 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.


With a nice stamp:
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 09-05-2019)


Thank You very much Doris!
