View from Palace south entrance

Slottsbacken connects the Skeppsbron quai with the highest point of the Old Town.

Facing east: By the water is a statue of Gustav III by Johan Tobias Sergel, Sweden's foremost 18th century sculptor.

Facing north (into the palace): Entering by the southern entrance of the Royal Palace you have the Royal Treasury and the Royal Chapel.

Facing south: Opposite the Royal Palace are several interesting buildings;

Tessinska Palatset, the Tessin Palace, acclaimed by many as the most beautiful private residence north of Paris. In 1697 the Swedish architect Nicodemus Tessin the younger built the house to himself at the period he was building the Royal Palace across the street. Today the house is the residence of the Stockholm County Governor.

Next door is the Royal Coin Cabinet where you can see the world's largest coin, dating from 1644.

Across from the Royal Coin Cabinet Museum is the Royal Armoury Museum in the basement of the palace.
