Thus in the Stockholm City Hall we meet shadows from the great municipal edificies of the whole Europe:
but in the end all these are combined, enganced and surpassed by the force of this will to express a modern way of thinking
in art.

-known and royal Swedish metropolis, rose up in the Svealand and was built in that portion of land
between Baltic sea and Lake Mälaren But as the city of Venice, it is composed of many islands, some of them
inhabitated
BAEDECKER, , 1878
The situation of the town on islands, on a plain , and on rocky hills , surrounded by water and islands in almost every
direction, is exceedingly picturesque. Stockholm has therefore not inaptly been called the ' Venice of the
North', and has sometimes been compared with Genua also ; but no such comparison can convey an adequate idea of
the place, which differs in many respects from all

1500, Stockholm was named the the lagoon city gave just a few designing
references to his admirer Scandinavian. Recently, though, the placement on the water has inspired a couple of projects in
Stockholm. So, the Italian lagoon city has become a rare and valuable jewel for all its Scandinavian admirers. The
National Museum of Stüler and Bolinder villa of Zettervall hark back those Venetian buildings reflect their marble splendor

Stockholm City has often been called «the Venice of the North»; but it is not till now this description has
become fact. The Piazzetta is to be found in the garden of the City Hall. The open colonnade of the southern facade
carries thoughts to Venice, but more Palazzo Correr than

... The West Wing ends with Nämndshuset and city hall with its towers. One would be almost tempted to make a comparison
between Riddarholmen and the Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore in front Piazzetta in Venice ...

"Each city lives on its own memories... The Mediterranean cities do so more than
their own shadows.
Venice has become an ide
itself, sometimes tending to blend together or react against one another. Venice and that other Venice stand side by side or
inside each other. But each is vital to the other, neither can survive alone, both are Venice and the Serenissima,
image and simulacrum, history and myth
