Founded by Karl XI, Karlskrona is on the UNESCO World Heritage list as an outstanding example of a late17th-century European planned naval city. Shipbuilding, architecture and town planning have attracted attention in Europe since the 18th century and the naval base and shipyard are still in use today.
