The medieval week is being organised every year in the beginning of August.
During this week Visby turns back into the 14th century and people visiting Visby can enjoy typical food, entertainment, dances, handicraft and much much more...
This picture shows the ringwall of Visby during the medieval week.
Sorry for the bad quality of the photos. |
|  | Waldemar Atterdag was the Danish king who entered Visby June 27th 1361 and stole all valueables of the locals.
This event is probably the greatest event during the medieval week and gathers thousands of people to watch the "theatre". |

This was a really great experience. |
