Слайд 1Uppsala A swedish University town from the 15th century


Слайд 2Uppsala is the fourth largest city of Sweden, 80 km north

of Stockholm, 20 minutes from Arlanda International Airport.










Population: ~ 150 000
Coordinates: 59°51′ N, 17°38′ E


Слайд 3Uppsala is one of the oldest and most prestigious University towns

in Europe.
The first settlement, known as Gamla Uppsala, dates back from pre-Viking times, and was perhaps the main centre of pagan cult in Sweden.









As the scandinavian gods were decaying in popularity, a rival christian borg was founded around 1164 at the port of Old Uppsala, and by 1274 (new) Uppsala had grown larger than its old predecessor. A large gothic cathedral was built in 1435, the magnificent Domkirke that still dominates the town. The University followed, founded in 1477.

Слайд 4 Uppsala Cathedral, the University (left) and the Fyrisån (Fyris river) .



Слайд 5The town developped on both banks of Fyris river, the central

and comercial areas on the east side, the University and the cultural centers on the west.



Слайд 6The civic centre:
Stora Torget (Main Square) and the Radhaus (townhall)

building.


Слайд 7The Townhall dates from 1883.


Слайд 8Stora Torget was built in the 17th century, on a dried

bay of the Fyris river, after a royal decision to replan the town according to a square grid.


Слайд 9The railway station is close by. This is the main door

for students and tourists, coming from Stockholm or from Arlanda Airport.

Слайд 10All through the year, the Railway Station’s bycicle park displays a

peculiar view – this is really a popular european university town.

Слайд 11Close to the main square is the smaller, older, not-square Gamla

Torget, and the Fyristorg across the river. One of the favorite views, introducing the old town.


Слайд 13Several bridges take across the river: pedestrian bridges in iron and

stone bridges, like Dombron, Uppsala's oldest.
It was built in 1760 , and the name refers to its location near the cathedral.




Слайд 14Dombron marks the entrance to the cobblestone-floored cultural district.


Слайд 15From Stora Torget, the Västgötaspången is one of several foot bridges

crossing the river into Uppsala's old town.

.

Слайд 16The bridge, often crowded in summer, joins the two banks of

the Fyris, Östra and Vastra, East and West.

Слайд 17A quiet evening in the often crowded Östra Ågatan.


Слайд 18The two walkways bordering Fyris river, Östra Ågatan - more scenic

and devoted to leisure or shopping - and Vastra Ågatan - more monumental - are the first walk to have in Uppsala, offering a panoramic view of the town.

Слайд 19Östra Ågatan


Слайд 20The East walkway:
Lines of Trees, small docks, benches and café terraces.


Слайд 22The old Pump House (Pump-huset), on the West side, seen from

across the river; it was the main water control installation.

Слайд 23This stairway down to the river in Östra Agatan is the

best place to sit in a warm sunny day.

Слайд 28And still later.


Слайд 30Uppsala Cathedral
(Domkirke)


Слайд 31This majestic structure of glowing red brick, crowned by three soaring

black spires, dates back to 1435 .

Слайд 32The cathedral is built in the Gothic style and is one

of the largest in northern Europe, with towers reaching over 118 metres.


Слайд 34It houses the tombs of the 16th-century Swedish king Gustav Vasa,

and of the famous 18th century botanist Carl Linnaeus.

Слайд 42The old town of Uppsala


Слайд 43Around the cathedral, a maze of medieval alleys, most frequently jammed

with students on bycicles.

For these are university grounds.

Слайд 44St. Erik’s torg

Слайд 46The Cupola of the old Gustavianum is visible over the roofs.


Слайд 49This is Valvgränd (Arch Lane), in Valvgatan, a well-known meeting point.


Слайд 52Valvgatan is a pedestrian-only alley on the West side of Uppsala.


Слайд 53The Skytteanum is a private House for the Professor in Eloquence

and Political Science at University of Uppsala, which was established in 1622. The building was once part of the medieval city wall.

Слайд 55Uppsala University and the ‘Nations’






The university, founded in 1477, flourished during

the rise of Sweden as a great power at the end of the 16th century, and was then given special protection under the rule of King Gustavus Adolphus, in the early 17th century.
For centuries it ranks among the best in Europe.

Слайд 56The majestic entrance Hall of the University’s main building.


Слайд 58Carolina Rediviva, the main Library of Uppsala University.


Слайд 59The building was begun in 1820 and completed in 1841.
The name,

meaning "Carolina Revived", intends to remember the previous 18th century library, ‘Academia Carolina’.


Слайд 62The Codex Argenteus, known as "Silver Bible”, is a 6th-century manuscript

with a 4th-century translation of the Bible into old East Germany’s Gothic language.
The complete work is on permanent display at the Carolina Rediviva library in Uppsala. It is the most precious book in Sweden.

The final leaf of the codex, fol. 336, was discovered in 1970 in Speyer, Germany. The leaf contains the final verses of the Gospel of Mark.


Слайд 64The Gustavianum
This was the former main building of Uppsala University; the

Gustavianum was built in 1622 –1625.

The name Gustavianum comes from swedish King Gustavus Adolphus,
who financed its construction.

Слайд 65The majestic cupola is a town landmark.


Слайд 66The Gustavianum is Uppsala University’s older building. Under the cupola is

the Theatrum Anatomicum, the second oldest in the world, from the mid 17th century.
Since 1997 the building became home for the Museum Gustavianum.

Слайд 68The
Anatomical Theater

Used to teach anatomy in the first modern universities, it

consists of a room of roughly amphitheatrical shape, around a central table on which the bodies to dissect and study took place.

This one in the Gustavianum has an octogonal shape.

Слайд 72The Nations
The student nations or nationer are old student societies, with

a history stretching back to the 1630s.

Traditionally, students were required to be members of the nations whose area they came from, and international students free to choose whichever nation they desire.

The nations are in charge of the kind of social activities such as café, pub, clubs, theatre, orchestras, sports societies, balls and formal dinners - and also housing for some.

Слайд 73The nations take the names from the Swedish provinces from which

they traditionally recruited their members; there are 13 nations in Uppsala University:




Stockholms
Uplands
Gästrike-Hälsinge
Östgöta
Västgöta
Södermanlands-Nerikes
Västmanlands-Dala
Smålands
Göteborgs
Kalmar
Värmlands
Norrlands
Gotlands

Some logos


Слайд 74Norrlands Nation claims to be largest nation; it has a powerful

18th century building on Fyrisån, with halls and lounges that are often used for celebrations.

Слайд 75The entrance Loggia.


Слайд 76It consists of two small buildings, one of which also houses

the residences, and the location by the river is perfect. Västgöta Nation, commonly known as VG, was founded in 1639 and thus is one of Uppsala’s oldest nations.

Several of Nations buildings are old and architecturally interesting; one of the favorites is Västgöta Nation , ‘VG’.


Слайд 77With about 1200 members, Västgöta Nation is one of the smaller

nations at Uppsala, but still has extensive cultural activities, including choirs, a theatre club and an orchestra.

Слайд 80And behind VG , the huge Uppsala Castle.


Слайд 81Uppsala castle
16th century


Слайд 82The castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1549, in

a time Sweden was on its way to become a great power in Europe.

Слайд 83As a royal castle, Uppsala Slott has played a central role

in Swedish history.

Слайд 85Today, the large building is the site of the Uppsala Art

Museum (Konstmuseet). In its large halls are displayed paintings and other remnants of the 16th century castle built by the Vasa dynasty.

Слайд 88Gamla Uppsala was the pre-Christian residence of the Swedish kings of

the legendary Yngling dynasty.

It was also the location of the ‘Thing’ of all Swedes, a general assembly held from norse times to the Middle Ages

As early as the 3rd century AD and the 4th century AD and onwards, all through the late Iron Age, it was an important religious and economic centre.



Слайд 89Several pre-Viking burial mounds, dated to the 5th and 6th centuries,

show the importance of this sacred site. Before Christianity arrived in Sweden, Gamla Uppsala was the seat of Swedish kings and a ceremonial site known all over northern Europe. The settlement was home to royal palaces, a royal burial ground, and a great pagan temple.
Three of the burial mounds are known as the Royal Mounds (Kungshögarna).

Слайд 90Uppsala’s old cathedral was probably built in the 11th century, but

finished in the 12th century.

Слайд 91Gamla Uppsala was such an important ceremonial site that the first

Swedish cathedral was built over the pagan temple.
Near the church is its splendid red, wooden belfry.

Слайд 105Cafés in Uppsala
A town with such a vibrant student life must

offer equally vibrant café life…

Слайд 106The Café Linné Hörnan is probably the oldest and most prestigious

among students and teachers.

The Linné is often used as a meeting place for various clubs or political groups.



Слайд 107Named after Carl Von Linné – a Swedish botanist and professor

of medicine who lived and worked in Uppsala – this classic café features a quaint, cosy atmosphere.

Слайд 108Linné Hörnan is located in a corner of Svartbäcksgatan , the

main commercial street.

Слайд 109Café Ofvandahls is a traditional café with old roots and atmosphere.


Sometimes poetry contests and other poetry readings can happen.

Слайд 111Café Fågelsången allows sitting outdoors in the summer.
