The title of this post sounds like the title for a song in a weird kind of way. And maybe that’s a good thing. Today I’m combining two subjects that are right next to each other, but a bit different. I’m not sure what that would sound like in music – maybe something like Trans Siberian Orchestra or something.
I made my way over to what is called Jacob’s Barracks:
It was originally used as just that, a barracks when the Swedish controlled the area. It’s now filled with shops, bars and restaurants.
At one end of the barracks still remains one of the Swedish gates:
It was pretty neat for a gate. I really liked the detail at the keystone.
When you stand on the south side of the gate you get a nice view of a couple of old streets. Very quaint and peaceful.
It makes you want to just stop and enjoy a drink at a cafe or think about the history of the city.
Enjoyed reading through this, very good stuff, thankyou .
