Birger Jarlspassagen, Stockholm
We usually look down and scroll our smart phones but THIS is what you can discover next time you look up instead :) This is a picture of entrance to Birger Jarlspassagen, Stockholm's oldest shopping arcade. I was waiting for a friend to join me for lunch and - luckily - looked up as opposed to what I usually do to kill time (checking my phone). It’s a pity I took this picture “only”, after reading more about the place I realised I just NEED to go back and take some more photos to share here. The arcade (I Googled) was inaugurated in 1897 during King Oscar II's reign and it is inspired by Berlin's Kaisergalerie. OK, so I also need to revisit Berlin :) The passage embodies late 19th-century European architectural styles of neo-renaissance and romanesque elements - this is new knowledge to me and if you are an expert in this place or style, feel free to add photos or comments! Anyway, I thought it’s a rare treasure and worth sharing here if you are interested in architecture and/or historical styles! Btw, there’s great shopping in there as well, although not the primary topic of my feeds here :)
