University and the dome

The city is dominated by a large cathedral, and the fact that its the location of a large university. You'll find that there are a lot of young people (read students) here. The city isn't young, but because of all the students you'll feel like the city is still young.

Some history

Kulturen

Skåne was taken from the danes in the middle of the 1600-hundreds.
