King Charles XI founded Karlskrona in 1680 to establish a base for the country’s warships. A civilian community grew around the base to provide the naval base with all the services and supplies needed – this laid the foundation for Karlskrona to become a World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore all the places and things that make Karlskrona a World Heritage Site.
