Gamla Uppsala

Gamla Uppsala is a town and a parish, outside Uppsala, and was the seat of the Swedish kings of the House of Ynglings, before the Middle Ages, named in legends and Norse mythology. We can find the Royal Mounds, wich are 3 large barrows dated from the 5th and 6th Centuries, and are the location of royal burials.
