Karlskrona Naval Port

Karlskrona is the planned naval port founded in 1680 on the Baltic coast of Sweden, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 as an outstanding example of a late seventeenth-century European naval base. Laid out as a fortified town around its dockyards, it preserves shipbuilding facilities, fortifications, and naval architecture from the age when Sweden was a Baltic great power. It remains an active naval base and home to the Naval Museum, which displays ship models and submarines.
