Sweden's only baroque city

Karlskrona is known as Sweden's only baroque city and plays host to Sweden‘s only naval base. It also serves as the headquarters of the Swedish Coast Guard.  
 
Most of the original baroque buildings are still standing, which is why the city centre is architecturally significant. Another design feat is that the main square of Karlskrona is the largest in Scandinavia. 
 
The most important day in Karlskrona is the day before midsummer's eve when a big fair takes place and attracts tens of thousands of visitors to Karlskrona. The fair is called Lövmarknaden (The Leaf Fair) and is very popular among locals and tourists alike.
