The Royal Palace is located in the middle of Gamla Stan and together with the changing of the guards in the courtyard it attracts many visitors. The palace was built in Baroque style by architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and its shape is meant to resemble a Roman palace.

The Royal Palace houses many interesting sights: Apart from the State Apartments there are four museums of royal history - Skattkammaren (Royal Treasury) with the royal regalia of Sweden, the Tre Kronor Museum, which depicts the palace’s medieval history, Gustav III:s Museum of Antiquities showing a collection of sculptures from ancient times and Livrustkammaren (the Royal Armoury) with clothes and other objects that are tied to Sweden’s regents and their families.

Stockholm Palace has a history that spans over many centuries and the development of the Roman Baroque style palace we see today was once a medieval citadel and renaissance palace. Today the King and Queen have their offices in the palace and the King’s administration, the Royal Court of Sweden, manages its activities from here. The official representation of the head of state is also partly carried out in the palace.

Sweden's Royal Regalia are kept deep in the vaults of the Royal Treasury (Skattkammaren), underneath the Royal Palace in Stockholm, in a museum which is open to the public. The crowns and coronets have not been worn by Swedish royalty since 1907, but they are still displayed at weddings, christenings and funerals.

language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through

SUMMARY
=======
The Monarchy of Sweden concerns the monarchical head of state of Sweden, which is a constitutional and hereditary monarchy with a parliamentary system. The Kingdom of Sweden (Swedish: Konungariket Sverige) has been a monarchy since time immemorial. Originally an elective monarchy, it became an hereditary monarchy in the 16th century during the reign of Gustav Vasa, though virtually all monarchs before that belonged to a limited and small number of families which are considered to be the royal dynasties of Sweden.
Sweden in the present day is a representative democracy in a parliamentary system based on popular sovereignty, as defined in the current Instrument of Government (one of the four Fundamental Laws of the Realm which makes up the written constitution). The monarch and the members of the Royal Family undertake a variety of official, unofficial and other representational duties within Sweden and abroad.Carl XVI Gustaf became King on 15 September 1973 on the death of his grandfather, Gustaf VI Adolf.
