Statues and official monuments in Malmö
Malmo is a city not only known for its criminality and violence, but also by its beautiful surroundings. A big part of this is the statues and monuments all over the city. Through the statues you get a picture of Sweden and Malmo’s history. For example Karl X Gustav sitting on his horse looking over “Stortorget” keeping his people safe from the Danish.
As a Tourist these are the kind of statues you notice. With the help of our guide we hope to help you explore and enjoy the history of Malmo’s monuments and statues. Maybe you would be surprised to find out these facts.
We decided to interview one of the Swedish students and one of the German students to get a youth perspective of the monuments in Malmö
The first interview is with the Swedish student Vanillia Hinderot Flogin:
What is your favourite monument or statue in Malmo?
My favourite statue is the Deers made by Ernst Billgren, in slotssparken
Why?
It’s pretty and is placed on a great spot.
Do you know what It actually stands for?
It just looks nice and I’m not going to analyse the deers.
Our next interview was with the German student Lisa-Marie Klauck
What is your favourite monument or statue in Malmo?
My favourite is the Lighthouse
Why?
In Germany we don’t have that many lighthouses
Do you know what It actually stands for?
Just to warn the boats.
We thank our fabulous guests for being so pretty and kind. Here is some pictures from our adventerous photo safari:
