Visby, which has preserved its medival character through half a millennium,

is a microcosm of the contribution of the Gothlanders to cultural

development in the North. Long before the birth of Christ, they carried on

extensive foreign trade, and at the beginning of the Middle Ages the town

of Visby grew up round the safe harbour on the west coast, and there

colonies of foreign traders found their favourite settling-place.
