Sankt Hansgatan is a charming cobblestone street located in the historic city of Visby, on the island of Gotland in Sweden. The street is named after St. John the Baptist, who is the patron saint of Visby.
Sankt Hansgatan has a long and fascinating history. It was originally built in the 13th century, during the heyday of the Hanseatic League, when Visby was a bustling center of trade and commerce. The street was home to merchants, craftsmen, and artisans, who sold their goods in the bustling market that was located at the heart of the city.
