| C. G. Rosenberg During the 13th century the citizens of Visby built and fortified their great town wall, three kilometres of which stand to this day, and which was a redoubtable defence for many generations. But in 1361 arrived the Danish king with a great army, devastated the country, destroyed the peasant forces, and breached the wall. With that the island and its town lost their prominent position for all time. |
