Östermalm

in Stockholm
Portrait

Built from the 1880s on drained marsh as a district of stone apartment houses for officers and officials, with a hall market at its centre that has sold the same fish since 1888. It has never been anything other than what it was built to be, which in a Scandinavian capital is rarer than it sounds.

This is a quarter, not an entry in the atlas. It resolves upward to the city that holds it.
