Gotland is Sweden’s largest island by area.
The island lies in the Baltic Sea east of mainland Sweden and has Visby as its principal town and administrative center. Gotland covers about 3,140 square kilometres of land, making it substantially larger than Sweden’s second-largest island, Öland.
Gotland is known for its limestone landscape, medieval churches, and the preserved medieval city wall around Visby. Its strategic position in the Baltic Sea has given it military and commercial importance for centuries. The island also includes smaller nearby islands, including Fårö, which is famous for its connection with filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.
