18 Row Buildings on Skeppsbron in Stockholm, Sweden

The major waterfront street in Gamla stan is Skeppsbron. The name means The Ship’s Bridge. It is lined with 24 pastel-colored buildings. Collectively, they are called Skeppsbroraden. This strip of land in Old Town was manmade during the early 17th century to become a quay for docking ships. By 1854, the current stone walls were finished and the harbor began to be called Skeppsbrokajen. As the port became prosperous, most of these buildings were constructed during the early 20th century as banks, merchants, warehouses or for other shipping related businesses.
